Deccan dispose Kings XI

A sparkling half-century from Rohit Sharma propelled Deccan Chargers to a 5 wicket win over Kings XI Punjab in their IPL match at Dharamshala yesterday.
Sharma partnered with Tirumalsetti Suman to steer Deccan to a comfortable win.
Sharma's heroics overshadowed the efforts of Sri Lanka duo Mahela Jayawardene and Sangakkara who had both struck fine half-centuries to help the Punjab side post what looked like a defendable total.
