Put in to bat by visiting captain Shoaib Malik [Images], Delhi slumped to 36 for four inside 13 overs before a 91-run stand between Dhawan and Bhatia arrested the slide.
Bhatia's 75 was a product of his 106-ball stay in the middle and included seven boundaries besides a six off Fawad Alam.
Dhawan's 52 came off 81 balls and had three fours in it. The left-hander also pulled Shoaib Akhtar [Images] over square leg for his only six.
Delhi, minus regular captain Virender Sehwag [Images], ran into trouble soon as stand-in skipper Gautam Gambhir [Images] (4) departed as early as in the second over when Umar Gul trapped him plumb in front.
Aakash Chopra (16) and Dhawan struggled to nudge the score along and then Younis Khan dealt a double blow.
