IPL: Rohit shines in MI's thrilling last-ball win

When Rohit Sharma disdainfully pulls a delivery of sheer pace from Anrich Nortje deep into the mid-wicket stands you know that he is batting at peak of his prowess. For most part of the reply to Delhi Capitals’s 172 at the Ferozeshah Kotla on Tuesday night, it seemed Rohit’s intimidating 45-ball 65 had set up a rather comfortable chase till Nortje turned up for the last over of the match defending just five against power-hitters Cameron Green and Tim David. After facing six near-perfect yorkers hurled at them, David and Green’s long limbs helped them scamper back for two runs off the final ball with six wickets to spare.
