Out! Dhawan is out caught!
Dhawan will have to walk back this time around. Wide outside offstump from Shardul, Dhawan looks for the big booming cover drive. Moeen Ali positioned there plucks a fine fine reflex catch. Big wicket for Chennai, Delhi are slipping here. Need 38 off 30 balls
Review for a caught behind...
Dhawan survives a caught-behind appeal. Sigh of relief for Delhi fans. It's getting tight here. Delhi need 38 off 32
