RCB, but they weren't the usual suspects. Shivam Dube and Robin Uthappa are not the big-ticket superstars of this CSK team, but they showed that they can turn it on when required. In 12.1 overs, they put up 165 runs, which helped CSK blaze away to 216/4 and notch up their first win of the season after four straight losses.

Dube has played a lot of his cricket at the DY Patil Stadium and he knows what to expect from the pitch. Uthappa, on the other hand, is a natural timer of the ball, and when it is his day, it's difficult to keep the Karnataka man quiet.
