Earlier Marsh took the key wickets of Yashasvi Jaiswal (19), and Delhi top-scorer Ravichandran Ashwin (50), to help restrict Rajasthan to 160/6. (BCCI/IPL/PTI Photo)

Jos Buttler fell early for seven before Ashwin, promoted to number three in the batting order, rebuilt the innings. (BCCI/IPL/PTI Photo)

Ashwin put on key partnerships including a 52-run third-wicket stand with Devdutt Padikkal (48), but departed soon after getting his first IPL half-century. (BCCI/IPL/PTI Photo)

Devdutt Padikkal finished with six fours and two sixes in his 30-ball knock as Royals managed a competitive total despite some disciplined bowling in which Chetan Sakariya stood out with figures of 2-23. (BCCI/IPL/PTI Photo)

Delhi lost opener Srikar Bharat for nought before Warner and Marsh got together to rebuild the innings and then take the attack to the opposition. (BCCI/IPL/PTI Photo)
