In the encounters between CSK and RCB, they have faced each other 31 times, with Chennai emerging victorious in 20 T20s, while Bangalore has won 10 matches. This is an instance where a match concluded without a decisive result.

Despite the struggles to convert these performances into titles, RCB has provided some of the most thrilling contests in IPL history, thanks to the high-voltage batting lineup featuring Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, and Glenn Maxwell.
