Delhi managed to register a comfortable win by 77 runs against Maharashtra, but Dhawan (24 off 22 balls) failed to shine once again. Delhi went on to score 167 for five after being invited to bat and produced a disciplined bowling effort to bundle out Maharashtra for 90 in 17.2 overs. Part-time off-spinner Nitish Rana stole the show with the ball with figures of four for 17.

Dhawan will be out of action for 4-5 days because of the injury he suffered while fielding.
Along with pictures of beaming hospital staff, Dhawan tweeted after the match: “We Fall, We Break, but then…. We Rise. We heal and we overcome, and the only thing you have control over is how you respond to any situation. Here’s to being positive and happy in every situation that life throws at you. Will be back in action in 4-5 days.”
