R Ashwin comes back into the attack. His opposite number Iyer lofts the first ball straight down the ground for a six as Delhi continue to cruise towards victory.

Ashwin stops on his follow through and gives Dhawan an indirect warning about backing up too early, but the Delhi opener was back in his crease.

Interestingly, Dhawan shows his dancing skills next ball as Ashwin runs into bowl the delivery, trying to distract the spinner.

The hosts are in complete charge as Ashwin concedes 10 runs in his third over.

Pacer Viljoen is back into the attack. Dhawan continues to bat positively as he pulls a short ball square on the leg side for a four. But Viljoen gets revenge with the wicket of Dhawan, who miscues the slower bouncer and Ashwin takes a good catch on the leg side.
