Recalling the game, PBKS won the toss and elected to bowl first.
Arshdeep Singh (3/40) and Kyle Jamieson (3/48) applied timely breaks with the ball, while Yuzi Chahal (1/37) also prevented batters from attacking.
While Virat (43 in 35 balls, with three fours) tried to keep the innings together, skipper Rajat Patidar (26 in 16 balls, with a four and two sixes), Jitesh Sharma (24 in 10 balls, with two fours and two sixes) and Liam Livingstone (25 in 15 balls, with two fours) upped the attack enough to help RCB post 190/9 in 20 overs.
In the run-chase, PBKS started well with Priyansh Arya (24 in 19 balls, with four boundaries) and Prabhsimran (26 in 22 balls, with two sixes) stitching a 43-run stand.
Josh Inglis (39 in 23 balls, with a four and four sixes) and Shashank Singh (61* in 30 balls, three wins and six sixes) tried their level best to keep up with the rising run rate, but Krunal Pandya (2/17), Yash Dayal (1/18) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2/38) put a fine show with the ball to restrict PBKS to 184/7, despite a sensational 22 runs smashed by Shashank in the final over while needing 29.
Krunal Pandya was awarded the Player of the Match for his exceptional bowling performance.

"I've Only Asked For...": R Ashwin Breaks Silence On CSK Departure Talks
Chennai Super Kings star spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain Sanju Samson are at the centre of the Indian Premier League (IPL) trade window chatter. Samson had a stop-start IPL 2025 season, riddled with injury, as RR went from finishing third in 2024 to a ninth-place finish in 2025. Now, Ashwin has opened up on the rumours. He said that for the first time in IPL he played only nine out 14 leagues matches for CSK, which was a new experience from him as he played in all the matches for the respective franchises in the earlier years. Ashwin went on to say that he had asked CSK for clarity over his role. "When I played for RR, after completing 1-year, the RR CEO mailed about a performance review… We are so and so, we are expecting this, and we are renewing your contract next year. Like this, every year, it's a 1+1+1 contract," Ashwin said on his YouTube channel. "So, every year when the contract finishes, it's the responsibility of the franchise to communicate to the players whether they are retaining or releasing. In this situation, where there is a cover on me, Sanju. Obviously, there should be a review of interest or non-interest. Every player wants clarity. In this case, nothing is in my hands; I've only asked for clarity. In my situation, I became a CSK player, and maximum cover is not coming from the player." He went on to talk about the intricacies of IPL player trading. "I became a CSK player at Rs 9.75 crore last year, and Sanju Samson's price is Rs 18 crore at RR. Correct? Now, if CSK wants a player worth Rs 18 crore, they need to have that amount. Okay, so CSK has to release players worth Rs 18 crore, or they have to trade off players worthy of Rs 18 crore. You can trade to RR or somewhere else.," he said. 'Now, I am not saying this is happening because I've zero knowledge, because it's conflicted. I have been working a little in the CSK academy, so I don't know the inside news. A lot of meetings have been going on to decide what will happen." Finally, when his co-host asked the viewers to comment on the video about whether they want to see Ashwin in a new team or in CSK, the star spinner replied: "Arey, mujhe chor do yaar (Please leave me alone with folded hands gesture). Mujhe khusi se rehne do yaar (Guys, let me live happily).' Ashwin is the fifth-highest wicket-taker in the IPL with 201 scalps in 239 matches at an average of 30.94. Before rejoining CSK in 2025, he played for the now-defunct Rising Pune Supergiant, Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings), Delhi Capitals, and Rajasthan Royals.

I sought clarity from franchise, nothing in my hands: Ashwin on speculation of leaving CSK
Playing only nine out of a possible 14 games in IPL 2025 was a first for Ravichandran Ashwin in his entire career in the T20 league and he has sought clarity from Chennai Super Kings after an underwhelming season amid rumours of franchise parting ways with the veteran off-spinner. While CSK had one of its worst seasons in 2025, Ashwin played just nine games, taking seven wickets at an economy rate of 9.12. "Last year, I played only nine games; in all my years of playing in the IPL, that was the first year I played just nine games. I always used to play every game for whichever franchise I was in, so it was my first experience like that. I asked for clarity from my side, but I asked for it during the IPL season itself," Ashwin said on his YouTube channel with speculation of him being traded with Sanju Samson of Rajasthan Royals making the rounds. It has been reported that Samson wants to move on after a long association with the Royals. "If Samson's trade is to happen, CSK will have to keep 18 crores free, and then you have to see who you can release to make that space," he said. "If tomorrow I'm not in the CSK team, it might benefit them — there's no doubt about that. But it can't all be about me," he added. Ashwin also spoke about the fact that not everything depends on the player but he can always express his opinion about wanting to leave a franchise. "Now, a player can express that he does or does not have an interest in renewing the contract and hence can seek clarity. So in this situation, where I am right now, I only sought clarity, which I had, in fact, asked for after the season had ended. "Right now, there is nothing in my hand. And all these rumours do not come from the player. Take the situation with Sanju, it was not he who said anything. It was either rumours from here and there or from the franchise. And there are a lot of layers to this," he said. He also spoke about the mathematics of trading where it can be part cash, part trade, same price trading or an all-cash deal. "I became a CSK player last year at 9.5 crores, and Sanju Samson's price is 18 crores at RR. If CSK want to take an 18-crore player, they will have to keep 18 crores free, or they can directly trade with RR. "You can also trade somewhere else and take him in just a cash deal. I am not saying this is happening because I am conflicted in this matter. I work a little bit with the academy and am working with CSK, so I don't have any inside news. "A lot of meetings happen, and decisions are made there on what will be done, and I have no current communication on it. Of course, I can ask for clarity— I have already asked before: what my role is, how I can get better, etc," he reiterated.

Riyan Parag blamed for Sanju Samson's likely breakup with Rajasthan Royals: 'He is the reason'
Former India batter Subramaniam Badrinath believes Riyan Parag is the main reason behind Sanju Samson potentially asking the Rajasthan Royals to release him ahead of the IPL 2026 season. According to several reports, the Rajasthan skipper has asked the franchise to release him ahead of the next edition of the tournament. However, a final call is yet to be taken by the management and head coach Rahul Dravid. Sanju Samson has reportedly told Rajasthan Royals to release him. (PTI) In the IPL 2025 season, Samson played as an impact sub in the initial few matches after he wasn't given the clearance for wicketkeeping by the National Cricket Academy (NCA). When Samson played just as a batter, it was Riyan Parag who did the captaincy. When Samson returned as a full-time captain, he once again got injured by suffering a side strain against the Delhi Capitals. When he was ruled out, Parag once again filled in as the captain. Amid this captaincy saga, there were reports of a rumoured rift between head coach Dravid and Samson. However, the former denied all speculations midway through the season. Samson's absence also paved the way for the franchise to give a chance to the 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi. The youngster grabbed the opportunity with both hands, smashing the fastest century by an Indian in the tournament. Also Read: 'Rajasthan Royals meant the world to me. And then Rahul Dravid…': Sanju Samson adds fresh twist to rumoured exit from RR With the opening pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Suryavanshi all but settled, there is no clarity over Samson's position, and hence, this is what might have prompted Samson to think about moving away from the Royals. 'I feel Riyan Parag is the reason. If you consider him for captaincy, how do you expect someone like Samson to stay?," said Badrinath on his YouTube channel. Samson moving to CSK? Rumours are rife that Sanju Samson will move to Chennai Super Kings after the five-time champions expressed their desire to acquire the wicketkeeper-batter. Badrinath believes Samson is the right fit to replace MS Dhoni at the franchise. However, he pointed out that the right-handed batter might not be able to bat lower down the order for CSK. 'If Sanju Samson does come to CSK, then he could be the like-for-like replacement for MS Dhoni. Samson is a batter who can bat in the top three or four spots in the batting order. He is not someone who could fit in the number five or six spot in the playing XI. CSK are strong in those areas of the playing XI. Mhatre is settled, Gaikwad is settled, Brevis is settled," he said. 'I am not sure if CSK would do a transaction like MI did to get Hardik Pandya from GT. So even if Sanju Samson comes in, the question remains whether CSK can fit him into the playing XI," he added.
