Rajasthan, once again, sent Ravichandran Ashwin at number three. He ended up scoring his maiden half-century and put in an important 53-run partnership for the third wicket with Padikkal. Ashwin got out in the 15th over off Marsh and wickets kept falling at regular intervals, thereafter.
However, a 30-ball 48 from Devdutt Padikkal meant Rajasthan reached a good score on the board. As for Delhi, Chetan Sakariya was the pick of the bowlers as he claimed 2 wickets for just 23 runs in his quota of 4 overs.
