I could DIE for that smile. Ricky Ponting is a gift to the sport that I only started cherishing more and more each year. The love only grows.

Also, Shikhar Dhawan congrats on your win as captain. #DCvsRR #DelhiCapitals pic.twitter.com/6oLEtfWnWV

Dhai Axar Prem ke.
Wonderful hundred from @SDhawan25 but Axar Patel doing to Dhoni's team what was done to him by Dhoni 4 years ago. But a much better batting performance from CSK. #DCvCSK

Opting to bat first, Sam Curran (0) failed to open his scoring and was sent back to the pavilion in the first over of the innings by Tushar Deshpande.

Shane Watson joined Faf du Plessis in the middle and stitched a solid 87-run partnership for the side. Anrich Nortje scalped the second wicket for his team as he dismissed Watson (36) in the 12th over.

Ambati Rayudu and Du Plessis had a 22-run brief stand for the third wicket before the latter was bagged by Kagiso Rabada in the 15th over. Du Plessis played a knock of 58 runs studded with two sixes and six fours.

CSK skipper MS Dhoni promoted himself up in the order but failed to have an impact on the scoreboard. Dhoni (3) was caught behind the stumps off Nortje.


Ravindra Jadeja and Rayudu accumulated 50 runs for the fifth wicket. CSKfinished at 179/4 in 20 overs.


For Delhi Capitals, Nortje claimed two wickets while Rabada and Deshpande bagged one wicket each.
