Rahane defends the first ball which is pitched up before he taps the next on the leg side for a single to get off the mark.

Sandeep then strikes with the big wicket of the in-form Dhawan, who gets a leading edge and is caught at mid-off for a first-ball duck as Delhi suffer an early blow.

Marcus Stoinis promoted to No 3 and he shows intent rightaway as he hammers Sandeep over mid-on for a four off the first ball he faces before the pacer sends down a wide.

Stoinis then tries to hit the next two balls through the off-side but is unable to get a run, as Sandeep concedes just six runs in the first over.

Left-arm spinner Shahbaz Nadeem to bowl from the other end.

He starts with a short wide delivery which Rahane cuts past point for a four before he takes a single to midwicket and Stoinis takes one down the ground.

Rahane then misses the sweep as Nadeem bowls a leg side wide and he then takes a single on the leg side.

Nadeem then strikes with the last ball of the over as Stoinis makes room but hits it straight to Warner at mid-off to perish for five.

Delhi in early trouble as they are reduced to 14-2 in two overs.
