Rohit Sharma., who made 73 off 44 balls, was the last man to be dismissed.
Earlier, Deccan captain Adam Gilchrist made five changes to the team, rotated his bowlers at quite a frantic frequency, taking almost each one of them off after just an over. Gilchrist's ply worked to an extent as they bundled out Rajasthan Royals for just 159 in 19.5 overs.
But all the gambles by Gilchrist came undone as Warne, the old magician, decided to take the centre stage and gatecrash Deccan Charger s' party. After going largely unnoticed so far in the IPL Shane Warne finally struck just when his team needed most.And what a strike it was. Warne bowled 13 dot balls conceding just one four and a six in his four overs as he derailed the Deccan run chase with four over bowled by Siddharth Trivede proved too much for Deccan as they fell short by two runs.
When Warne brought himself in the attack Chargers needed 59 runs from 48 balls. An asking rate of just above 7 runs per over. But none of the batsmen, barring Rohit Sharma, could cope with the pressure put up by Warne and Deccan Chargers were bowled out for 157.
Deccan Chargers, after being well placed at 86 for 2. Thanks to early impetus provided by Gilchrist after 10 overs lost their way. With 74 runs needed from the last 10 overs Deccan were favourites to win the match. But the batsmen failed to rise to the occasion.
Deccan Chargers' scoring rater dipped after Gilchrist's departure. The next two overs yielded just nine runs.
