Presentation Ceremony:

Sangakkara: "We were probably 15-20 runs short. Rohit batted brilliantly. Mishra, Steyn and Sharma bowled well. Dan Christian was left with a tough job in the last over"

Harbhajan: "We were right under the target. We knew that the boundaries were short and later on the bowlers would be under pressure. We have got the batsmen who can clear any boundaries. We should have finished it a little earlier"

Rohit Sharma: is the Man of the Match for his gem of a performance

Rohit Sharma: "The idea was to stay calm. That is what I have been doing for India. When Franklin came in, we needed 19 runs in the last over. I knew we could do it in the end. The dive on the second last ball was what saved us. We needed this win very badly. We lost the second game and needed to win this to gain momentum."

What an unbelievable game it turned out to be! 18 runs required off the last over and the last three balls changed the entire complexion of the match. Rohit Sharma played a cracker of an innings with his 50 ball 73. Deccan Chargers would be gutted at that loss especially after the way Steyn bowled.
