They are sitting at the top with three wins, they have had a fantastic start, they have fantastic players, we have a huge amount of respect for CSK, it is going to be a great game, we have seen some great games in Mumbai already. CSK has a very damaging batting lineup but we know our bowling lineup has performed well this season," said Katich in a video posted on the official Twitter handle of RCB.

Meanwhile, CSK won the toss and opted to bat first. They got a good start thanks to Ruturaj Gaikwad (33 off 25 balls) and Faf du Plessis' half-century.
