CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad won the toss and opted to bowl first in the crucial match. Virat Kohli raced off to 19 off nine balls, giving RCB a brisk start before rain intervened proceedings with 31/0 on the scoreboard after three overs. The surface surprisingly aided spin after the play resumed following a 40-minute break.

Mitchell Santner gave the first breakthrough for CSK by dismissing Virat Kohli (47) in the 10th over. Faf du Plessis finished his half-century after that and perished in the 13th over.
Cameron Green (38), Rajat Patidar (41), Glenn Maxwell (16), and Dinesh Karthik (14) chipped in with blazing cameos at the end to power RCB to a massive total of 218.

"The wicket was quite tough"- Cameron Green after RCB reached 218 in first innings of IPL 2024 match against CSK
At the mid-innings break, RCB all-rounder Cameron Green reflected on the action that unfolded in the first innings and said:
"The wicket was quite tough. Even when the ball went into the wicket, it bounced quite a bit. Hopefully it stays that way (in the second innings). (On the ball spinning prodigiously after the rain break) It was pretty crazy out there."
Green continued:
"Faf and Virat batted beautifully. They gave us a platform to explode from. After the rain, there was a bit of turn, not sure why. (On the target they had) You don't really set yourself a target. With the extra batter, you can go earlier. In the 14-15th, that is when you start to go and try to hit the ball as hard and as far as you can.
