Stormy game of Harbhajan Singh's team

Delhi Warriors, who set out to chase the target of 197 runs set by Dubai Royals, started their innings in a tremendous manner. The opening pair of Chadwick Walton and Srivatsa Goswami together gave the team such a start, similar to the box office collection of the recent film Dhurandhar. Walton and Goswami together added 159 runs for the opening wicket. This pair broke when Piyush Chawla, playing for Dubai Royals, clean bowled Shrivats Goswami on his personal score of 56 runs.
