Chennai Super Kings defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by 69 runs on Sunday and moved to the top of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 points table on the basis of a superior run rate.

After winning the toss, MS Dhoni's CSK scored 191 with Ravindra Jadeja scoring a blistering 62 off 28. He amassed 37 runs in the final over of CSK's innings. Faf du Plessis also scored 50 off 41.

Jadeja was the wrecker-in-chief with the ball as well and finished with excellent figures of 3/13 in four overs, including taking the big scalps of AB de Villiers and Glenn Maxwell.

Delhi Capitals take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in the second match on Sunday.
