Dhawan batted through the innings to guide Delhi Capitals to a seven-wicket victory over Kolkata Knight Riders.

Chasing 179, Colin Ingram launched one down the ground to finish the game in style and deny Dhawan what would have been his maiden hundred in this format.

Ricky Ponting feels that the team cannot over-rely on Rishabh Pant, and the other batsmen too need to rise to the challenge.

Rohit Sharma's MI will take on Shreyas Iyer's DC in their opening match today at the Wankhede in Mumbai.

DC are even with MI in their overall record with both teams winning 11 games against each other.

Dhawan said that a mix of hard and smart work has ensured that the Delhi Capitals are in the right frame of mind going into the 12th edition of the cash-rich league.

Shikhar Dhawan, who is returning to Delhi for his second stint, smashed 53 off 41 balls in a Delhi Capitals intrasquad practice game on Sunday.

After scoring 358, they had thought that there will be pressure on Australia but it turned the other way round as Handscomb, Khawaja and Turner powered Australia to level the series 2-2.

With this long-awaited century, Dhawan will hope to produce a few stellar performances to book his place in India's World Cup squad.

Dhawan has failed in 14 out of his 16 innings but Bangar feels that more than anything else, it's his shot selection that has let him down.

Rishabh Pant has been rewarded for his good show in Test cricket and has jumped directly into A group after being ignored last year.

Since Asia Cup where he was the top scorer, Dhawan has scored only 376 runs in 15 innings at a below-par average of 26.85 and only two half-centuries to show for his efforts.

On the big screen in slow motion, the ball seemed to have touched the ground before it landed in Stoinis' hands, but the umpires had given the decision as OUT.

The Indian cricketer took to Twitter to post an emotional video where he urged people to support the families of the martyred soldiers.

Kohli joined a number of present and former cricketers in condemning the attack while sending condolences to the families of the martyrs.

Bhandari sustained head and ear injuries and was taken to Sant Paramanand Hospital at Civil Lines by his colleague Sukhvinder Singh.

The Indian skipper dropped four places to be jointly 19th with Zimbabwe's Hamilton Masakadza.

India needed 16 runs in last over with Dinesh Karthik and Krunal Pandya on the crease but fell short by 4 runs at the end.
