Perfect turnaround for RCB after a worst-possible start in 2024. The Rajat Patidar era begins with two big wins and both have come away from home. A memorable outing at Chepauk as the visitors outplayed the Super Kings in front of the Yellow Army. The caravan moves to Ahmedabad for tomorrow's clash between GT and MI.

Rajat Patidar (Player of the Match, RCB Captain): "It was a good total on this surface because ball was stopping a bit. Wasn't easy for the batters to hit the boundaries easily.
It's always special playing Chennai at Chepauk because the way the crowd supports every team was amazing. Always special to play at their home ground
It was very important because we were targeting 200 on this wicket. My goal was clear, as long as I was there, we were going for it.
We haven't changed the batting lineup. It was the same as it was in the last match.
This track was pretty much helpful for spinners. I was just keeping things in my mind. The way Livingstone bowled was commendable.
[On Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar's opening spell] It was a game changing moment because we got 2-3 wickets in 6 overs. Amazing to see how they kept bowling at the hard length as it wasn't coming on the bat easily."
