Riding on skipper Faf du Plessis' fireworks, Royal Challengers Bengaluru got off to a flying start in the IPL opener against Chennai Super Kings. However, the visitors' joy was short-lived as he was dismissed by Mustafizur Rahman. 

The incident occurred in the fifth over of RCB's innings when CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad introduced Rahman into the attack to break the opening stand. The move paid rich dividends, with the experienced Bangladesh seamer getting rid of Du Plessis. 

After conceding a boundary on his second ball, the left-arm pacer bowled a full length delivery, angling away from Du Plessis. The RCB skipper went for an audacious lofted shot over the in-field only to fetch Rachin Ravindra in the deep. 

The promising New Zealand cricketer showcased his incredible fielding skills, holding on to a sensational forward diving catch at the deep point boundary. 

Rahman wreaked havoc in the RCB camp as he got rid of Rajat Patidar immediately after dismissing Du Plessis. Ace speedster Deepak Chahar rattled the visitors further, removing the dangerous Glenn Maxwell for a duck. 

Thus, CSK have pushed RCB on the back foot in the high-voltage clash, thanks to the bowlers' exploits. As of writing, RCB are reeling at 48 for three in 7.1 overs, with Kohli and Cameron Green unbeaten in the middle.
