Skipper Rajat Patidar’s half-century powered Royal Challengers Bengaluru to their first IPL win over Chennai Super Kings at home since 2008 here on Friday. Chasing 197, CSK managed just 146-8 in 20 overs, falling short by 50 runs. Opener Rachin Ravindra top-scored for the hosts with a 31-ball 41. Pacer Josh Hazlewood finished with figures of 3-21, while Yash Dayal (2-18) and Liam Livingstone (2-28) claimed two wickets each for RCB.

Earlier, Patidar rode on his luck to make a vital 51 and along with Tim David (eight-ball 22) lifted RCB to 196-7. Patidar was dropped thrice by CSK fielders, but he made most of the reprieves to score 51 off 32 balls (4x4, 3x6), providing his side a much-needed impetus in the middle-overs, while David’s late burst made up for a mid-phase slump.
