IPL 4: Match No.27, DC vs MI, Rohit and Synmonds hammers end overs to power Mumbai to 172/4

Mumbai Indians 172/4 (20.0) Rohit - 56, Synminds - 44

Rohit and Symonds have added 102 in 65 balls, lifting Mumbai from the depths of 70 for 4. The strongest batting line -up in the IPL has shown its class

The Mumbai Indians lost three wickets without further addition to the score as the Deccan Chargers took charge in match 27 of IPL-4 at Hyderabad on Sunday.

Earlier, Ishant Sharma got the wicket of Davy Jacobs to provide the Chargers with a much-needed breakthrough.

Deccan skipper Kumar Sangakkara won the toss and asked Mumbai to bat in their Indian Premier League match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

Sachin Tendulkar, who skipped his birthday celebrations in the wake of Sathya Sai Baba's death, decided to go ahead with Sunday's game. His availability will be a big boost for the in-form Mumbai side.

"Yes, I am playing the match," Tendulkar told reporters as he boarded the team bus to go to the stadium.

Both teams went into the match with one change. New Zealand all-rounder James Franklin made way for South African wicketkeeper Jacobs, while Ishant replaced Harmeet Singh for the Chargers.
