RCB v CSK is a marquee clash in the league phase of any IPL, and it lived up to its billing on a raucous Monday night.
A belter of a surface played its part in uncorking a run feast with a tournament record-equalling 33 sixes keeping a packed gathering with divided loyalties entertained and riveted.
