Virat’s exuberant celebration following CSK all-rounder Shivam Dube’s dismissal has possibly led the former to get fined by the match referee. The incident happened in the 17th over when Dube played a mistimed shot off Wayne Parnell’s delivery. The ball went straight into the hands of Mohammed Siraj near the boundary line.
Devon Conway slammed 83 off 45 deliveries while Shivam Dube blazed away to a 27-ball 52 as CSK posted an imposing 226 for six after being asked to bat first. In reply, RCB ended at 218 for eight.

RCB skipper Faf du Plessis (62 off 33 balls) and Glenn Maxwell (76 off 36) gave a scare to CSK till they were at the crease, sharing 126 runs for the third wicket to raise hopes of a famous win.
