New Delhi: Delhi Capitals made a winning start of the campaign under new skipper Rishabh Pant as they defeated CSK by five wickets. Delhi Capitals will next take on Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede Stadium later in the day.

The opening game saw both Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan send the CSK bowlers on a leather hunt and Shaw’s approach impressed head coach Ricky Ponting as the batsman had suffered a loss of form earlier in the year during the tour of Australia.
