That's it from our coverage of match number 4 in the World Legends Pro T20 League! Ninaad Dixit here signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Deepak Prakash and scorer Yogesh Kumar. Stay tuned for more action from around the world.
Shikhar Dhawan (Dubai Royals Captain): "[on the performance] Very happy and surprised as well. They took the game away from us. They wanted to get the century and that's when we took the game away from them.
[on Chawla] Last over, the way he turned the ball was amazing. He knew that Pujara was going to step out and look for a boundary to get his century. It was good to see Chawla turning the ball putting the new batter under tremendous pressure.
[on captaining] It takes a bit of time because we didn't play regularly so to get the rhythm from the boys. We are not 25 anymore so we need to respect the fatigue. We have a match again tomorrow. We have played high intensity cricket all our lives. That's a part and parcel of the game but everyone wants to give their best."

Samit Patel (Legend of the Match): "Straight off the plane this morning but all good. Pretty good wicket. We got some runs on the board and put some pressure on them.
[on the conditions] The boundaries are pretty small so keep the ball away from the batters. Puji played really well along with Thisara but we got them in the end.
[on playing with legends] The big thing was playing against Stuart Broad, we have been teammates for 20 years. He is still quick."

Thisara Perera (Gurugram Thunders Captain): "As a professional cricketer I gave him a chance to get his hundred. But it went the wrong way for us. It was an easy target on this wicket. We had a great partnership. I have to take my responsibility. We should have won this match the way we started and played through the middle."
5:56 PM IST, Local Time: Dubai Royals clinch a tight 3-run victory on the final ball of the match with Piyush Chawla defending 7 runs in the final over against Cheteshwar Pujara, Thisara Perera and Chirag J Gandhi.
Batting first, Royals scored 200/5 with Samit Patel scoring an unbeaten 65 in 32 balls, Parvez Rasool hit 29 in 17 balls with 3 sixes and Ambati Rayudu played some good shots in his 45 off 27 balls.
Stuart Broad was terrific with the ball again claiming 2/17 in his 3 overs. Jermaine Blackwood kept things quite with 0/25, Saurin Thakar dismissed Peter Trego for 1 before he was replaced by Cheteshwar Pujara for the second innings as super sub.
Pujara opened the innings with Phil Mustard today, the latter was dismissed for 7, Blackwood at 3 could only score 8. Colin de Grandhomme at number 4 hit 22 in 13 balls adding 42 runs with Pujara.
Chawla removed the Kiwi batter which brought skipper Thisara Perera at the crease. The southpaw hammered 3 fours and 4 sixes to remain unbeaten on 56 in 27 balls. Pujara hit 14 fours and a maximum to move to 99 in the final over but stepped out against Chawla and was stumped.
Requiring 4 in the last 2 balls. Chirag J Gandhi failed to knock the ball in the gap and was bowled on the final delivery of the match after facing 2 dots, the in-form Perera was stranded at the other end.
Chawla finished as the pick of the bowlers with 3/35, Samit Patel picked up 1/16, Fidel Edwards (0/37) and Christopher Mpofu (0/37) bowled some important overs as well. Stay tuned as we return with the post match presentation.
