CSK vs RCB Live Cricket Score

5 OUT! STUMPED! Lightning-quick hands from MS Dhoni! Suryakumar Yadav in the previous game and now Phil Salt, two stumpings straight out of the top drawer. Sliding across the right-hander from over the wicket, on a nagging length, Phil shapes up to hit this one on the rise but misses. Dhoni is onto it in a flash and whips the bails off. The third umpire is called into action. The replays show that Salt's back leg was on the line when Dhoni gathered it. He tried to drag it back in, but Dhoni was quick enough to dislodge the bails, and Salt's foot was in the air when one bail came off the groove. Salt goes back for 32 (16). RCB are 45/1. 45/1

12.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Rachin Ravindra makes no mistake! CSK get the prized scalp of Kohli just as he was starting to change gears. Floated up, on middle and on a length, Kohli gets down and goes for the slog sweep. Hits it with the turn and times it well but does not get the elevation. Hits it flat and straight down the throat of deep mid-wicket where Rachin Ravindra bends and takes it near his right shoulder. The 41-run stand has been broken now as Virat Kohli departs on 31 (30). RCB are 117/3. 117/3

7.5 OUT! GONE! CAUGHT! Ashwin gets a wicket, but a phenomenal catch by the CSK skipper. Devdutt, however, is going nowhere as he waits for the umpire's verdict. And the verdict comes out in favour of the fielding side. Flatter and fuller outside off from Ashwin. Devdutt Padikkal stays leg side to open the off side for him. Does not get his bat properly under the ball and hits it parallel to the ground, flat and straight to cover. It dips in front of Ruturaj Gaikwad at the mentioned position who dives forward and scoops the ball before the ground. Padikkal looked positive but has to walk back to the dugout scoring 27 (14). RCB are 76/2. 76/2

18.1 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Matheesha Pathirana gets his first wicket of the evening. He spears it very full and keeps the line of attack on the stumps. Rajat Patidar stays leg side of the ball and tries to smash it over the off side, but does not quite get the bat under the ball and also loses the grip off the bottom hand while swinging through. It flies high up in the air, and dips low to the cover region. Sam Curran circles under it and calls for his catch. Takes a sharp grab around his chest level. RCB lose two set batters in quick succession as Rajat Patidar departs on a quickfire 51 (32). 176/6

15.3 OUT! BOWLED'EM! CLEANED HIM UP! Wicket number 3 for Noor Ahmad and his seventh overall in this season so far! Noor keeps it simple as he bowls it on a slightly dragged length, with the line of attack being on the leg stump line. It pitches and turns a tad bit into the batter. Liam Livingstone shapes up to play an aerial slog sweep but plays all over the wrong line and misses to connect. It sneaks past the inside edge and crashes into the stumps. Royal Challengers Bengaluru are 145/4. 145/4

17.4 OUT! GONE! CAUGHT! Khaleel breaks this partnership and gets his first wicket of the evening! Khaleel bangs it into the surface, short and angling on middle and leg. It comes a bit slower than expected as Jitesh Sharma shapes up to pull. He takes the aerial route, but is through his shot a tad early and loses his shape in an attempt to hit it too hard. Mistimes it towards deep mid-wicket and it dips low in front of the fielder. Ravindra Jadeja gets low and takes a fine catch in the deep. 172/5

18.4 OUT! IN THE AIR AND CAUGHT! Matheesha Pathirana with a double whammy and Krunal Pandya with a three-ball duck! Matheesha Pathirana bowls it on a hard length at the stumps. Krunal Pandya fails to read the pace off the hands of the bowler and swings through very early in the air. Mistimes it straight down the throat of Deepak Hooda at long on. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the new batter. 177/7

12.1 OUT! DRAGGED ON! Yash Dayal provides a big wicket for RCB as Rachin Ravindra departs now! Half of the CSK side is back in the hut! Yash spears it full and angles it on the stumps. Rachin Ravindra clears his front foot to smash through the leg side, but inside edges onto the left boot and the ball then crashes into the wickets. Rachin Ravindra perishes on 41 (31) and CSK are 75/5. 75/5

1.2 OUT! GONE! CAUGHT! Another low score for Rahul Tripathi and Josh Hazlewood provides an early breakthrough for RCB! Josh bashes the hard length, and keeps the line of attack into the body line of the batter. The ball skids through quickly and rushes Tripathi into his shot. He goes through for a pull but mistimes it badly as the ball gets a bit heavy on him, and lobs an easy catch to Phil Salt stationed at mid-wicket. Rahul Tripathi departs for 5 and CSK are 8/1. 8/1

2 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! CSK under early trouble as they lose their skipper on a four-ball duck! RCB are thrilled to bits, and why not? Hoff keeps banging the ball on that hard length, and again, gets that extra bit of bounce off the surface as the ball skids through and lifts up on the batter. Ruturaj Gaikwad shapes to pull, goes through, but hits it off the higher part of the bat. Doesn't get the distance and the ball sails to the deep square leg region. The substitute fielder, Manoj Bhandage, runs across to his left and takes a fine catch. 8/2

4.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! On a good length, shaping away from the right-hander, just around off, Deepak Hooda stays on the back foot and tries to push it away, but plays inside the line and the ball passes the outside edge, on the way to the keeper. An appeal for caught behind from Jitesh Sharma and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, but not entertained by the umpire. Rajat Patidar trusts his men, and straightaway signals the 'T' to go upstairs. UltraEdge comes up and shows a faint spike as the ball passes close to the outside edge. An excellent review by RCB! Deepak Hooda departs on 4 (9) and things are getting really worrisome for CSK as they are 26/3. 26/3

8.5 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Sam Curran holes out while trying to break free! Nicely looped up by Liam Livingstone from around the wicket. Hangs it up there, on the fuller side, Sam gets tempted as he sees the ball above his eyeline. His weight stays on the back foot as he winds up and looks to launch it back over the bowler's head. Skies it straight up and it goes only as far as long on where Krunal Pandya runs around to his right and takes it safely near his chest. Sam falls for 8 (13). Chennai Super Kings are now 52/4, needing 145 runs in 67 balls. 52/4

12.5 OUT! CHOPPED ON! The writing seems pretty much on the wall for CSK now as they lose their Impact Player Shivam Dube! On the back of a length, nipping back into the southpaw, just around off, Shivam Dube stands tall and tries to drag it into the leg side, but a thick inside edge is found and the ball bounces before crashing into the stumps. Dube departs with not much impact, scoring 19 (15) and CSK are 80/6, needing another 117 runs off 43 balls. 80/6

18.4 OUT! TAKEN! Ravindra Jadeja could not have picked out the fielder in the deep any better! Dug in short by Josh, on off, Jadeja presses on the back foot and pulls it sweetly. Hits it right off the middle of the bat but straight down the throat of deep mid-wicket. Phil Salt takes a reverse cup catch over his head. Third wicket of the night for the Aussie. 130/8

15.2 OUT! TAKEN! Second wicket of the night for Liam Livingstone! Flatter and shorter, on middle, Ashwin rocks back to unleash the pull but ends up hitting it a lot straighter. Gets it high on the bat and holes out to long on where Phil Salt takes an easy catch. Ashwin falls for 11 (8) and CSK are now 99/7. 99/7
