Rohit, who hit five sixes and four fours in his 50-ball  knock, was also adjudged as the Man of the Match.<\/p>\n<p>With the win,  Mumbai Indians stayed third with four points from three matches while  2009 champions Deccan Chargers remained at the bottom of the table with  no win after two matches.<\/p>\n<p>Mumbai Indians had to struggle to score  as South African Dale Steyn (3-12) almost took the Deccan Chargers on  the threshold of a win. <\/p>\n<p>Steyn&#8217;s brilliant penultimate over,  during which he gave away just five runs, left Mumbai Indians needing 18  runs from last six balls.<\/p>\n<p>Deccan Chargers captain Kumar  Sangakkara, who missed the first match due to national duty, had no  doubt in asking Daniel Christian (1-49) to bowl the last over as the  Australian had conceded 29 runs for one wicket from three overs before  that.<\/p>\n<p>But Christian erred miserably in his last overs. James  Franklin (7 not out) raised hopes hitting the first ball, a full toss,  for a four down the ground in the first ball. <\/p>\n<p>Rohit then held  his nerves and hit the Australian all-rounder for a six in the fourth  ball. The Mumbai batsman survived a run out chance in the fifth ball.  And with three runs needed to win in the last ball, Rohit smashed  Christian for a six over the long-on for the winning runs for an edge as  the whole Mumbai Indians squad rushed onto the ground to embrace the  youngster.<\/p>\n<p>It was a tough win indeed for Mumbai Indians, as  Ambati Rayudu (19) and Kieron Pollard (24) were the other two batsmen to  get to double figures.<\/p>\n<p>Mumbai Indians were going slowly till the  15th over when they were 85 for three. But they accelerated well in the  last five overs scoring 57 runs that proved crucial for their win.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier,  opting to bat first, Deccan Chargers made 138 for nine in 20 overs  after opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan top scored with 41 while Christian  made 39. Cameron White also came up with a valuable unbeaten 30.<\/p>\n<p>Munaf Patel was the pick of the Mumbai Indians bowlers with four for 20 while Lasith Malinga bagged three for 27.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/cricket\/mumbai_indians.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IPL: Mumbai Indians defeat Deccan Chargers by 5 wickets\" style=\"float: left; margin: 6px;\" \/>Visakhapatnam: <\/strong>A last ball heroic from Rohit Sharma saved the  day for Mumbai Indians as the visitors managed a five-wicket win over  Deccan Chargers in a thriller in the Indian Premier League at the  Y.S.Rajsekhara Reddy Stadium here on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Chasing a target of 139, Rohit hit a six off the last ball as  Mumbai Indians made 142 for five in 20 overs for their second win in  three matches.
