Virat Kohli, who fell for a first ball duck against the Rajasthan Royals, took the catches to dismiss Yashasvi Jaiswal and Devdutt Padikkal, to take his tally to 101 catches in 228 matches -- the third highest in the IPL behind Suresh Raina (109 catches in 204 matches) and Kieron Pollard (103 catches in 189 matches).

Shivam Dube blasted his way to an entertaining half-century from just 20 balls, hitting fours and five sixes.

Dube has been in good form in the IPL, scoring 184 runs at an average of 30.66 across six innings, with two half-centuries.

The record for CSK's fastest fifty belongs to Suresh Raina, who got it off just 16 balls against the Punjab Kings in 2014.

Moeen Ali and Ajinkya Rahane are joint second, having smashed 19-ball fifties.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Ambati Rayadu have also scored 20-ball half-centuries for CSK.

CSK's highest record total in the IPL is the 246/5 against Rajasthan Royals in 2010, while their next best is the 240/5 against Punjab Kings in Mohali in 2008.

The record for the highest total in IPL history belongs to the Royal Challengers Bangalore, who slammed 263/5 against the now-defunct Pune Warriors India in 2013, powered by Chris Gayle's 175 not out in just 66 balls.

CSK slam 18 sixes against KKR
