Dhawan took the team close to the target of 180, but it was Axar Patel who was the last-over hero as he struck 21 off five balls, including three sixers. Needing 17 off the last over, bowled by Ravindra Jadeja, Delhi reached the target as Patel hit three sixers while Dhawan watched from the other end. Dhawan's 101 came off 58 balls and included 14 fours and one six.

AB de Villiers sets up RCB win
