Jadeja (3/13) later grabbed three big wickets in an outstanding all-round display as CSK crushed RCB by 69 runs.
The left-handed batsman, who got a life on nought by Dan Christian off Washington Sundar in the 15th over, made full use of the reprieve to finish on 62 off 28 balls.

The CSK openers raced to 51 in six overs with du Plessis and Gaikwad matching each other shot for shot. The RCB pacers — Kyle Jamieson and Mohammad Siraj — could not make much of an impression.
