Jaydev Unadkat struck very soon for RR after asking DC to bat first, removing Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan and Ajinkya Rahane inside the powerplay overs to leave Delhi reeling at 36-3. Sportzpics
Rishabh Pant then came to DC's rescue with a 32-ball knock of 51, before he was run-out by Riyan Parag in the 13th over. Sportzpics
Cameos from Tom Curran (in picture, 321 runs off 16 balls) and Lalit Yadav (20 off 24) later ensured that DC would put up a respectable total of 147-8. Sportzpics
The Capitals got off to a dream start during the Royals' reply, with Chris Woakes getting rid of openers Manan Vohra and Jos Buttler. At one stage, RR too, were reeling at 42-5 in the 10th over. Sportzpics
With the top and middle-order crumbling, David Miller saved the day for RR, with a 43-ball 62. His knock consisted of seven fours and two sixes as the inaugural champions opened their account with their first win of the ongoing campaign. Sportzpics
