However on the cricket field, CSK skipper MS Dhoni had the last laugh restricting RCB to 218/8 in 20 overs after posting 226/6 in the same number of overs.
Chasing a mammoth target of 227, RCB lost early wickets but they counter-attacked with aggressive knocks by Faf du Plessis (62 off 33 balls) and Glenn Maxwell (76 off 36 balls).
The two batters stitched a 126-run partnership for the third wicket. But their dismissals in quick succession once again landed RCB on a spot of bother.
Dhoni's clinical captaincy and regular fall of RCB's wickets dented Faf-led team's hope for a win at home as the hosts ended at 218/8 in 20 overs despite late firing by wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik's 14-ball 28.
