One particular SMS stood out, though. For, the sender was a certain Yuvraj Singh, says a report in the <strong>DNA.<\/p>\n<p><\/strong>The World Cup hero, who had touched down in the Capital earlier in the day, expectedly watched the entire game. \u201cYuvi paaji was the first to congratulate me,\u201d Sharma said after his swashbuckling 50-ball 73 on Tuesday. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a simple \u2018well done, brother\u2019 message, and it meant a lot to me. I would like to dedicate the knock to him and I hope he gets well soon. He\u2019s gone through so much over the last few months and you have no idea how much we\u2019ve missed him in the dressing room. He\u2019s been my biggest well-wisher, more like an older brother, and I am glad he is finally home. I can\u2019t wait to meet him,\u201d said an emotional Sharma, according to the report.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile Hyderabad coach Darren Lehman was critical of the Mumbai players on issue of Kumar Sangakkara\u2019s controversial dismissal, says a report in <strong>The Times Of India. <\/strong>\u201cI think it could have been handled better but with such decisions we can\u2019t do anything. It was disgraceful the way Mumbai captain (Harbhajan Singh) behaved. The two gentlemen (umpires) were trying to run the game the right way but they were put under pressure,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>However Rohit Sharma defended the team\u2019s appeal on Sangakkara\u2019s dismissal, which sparked off quite an uproar. \u201cWe handled it well. We thought the bails came out and we just wanted to appeal. There was nothing wrong in the appeal and we requested the field umpires to refer it to the third umpire. It looked out when we saw with our naked eyes. In the end, we turned out to be right.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, speaking about Dale Steyn and Rohit Sharma, who were the star performers of the night, Lehman said: \u201cSteyn is one of the best fast bowlers of the world. He bowled exceptionally well today. It was a stand-out performance from him. Rohit has played for us before and we know his capabilities. He has been a consistent performer and it was a class act.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soon after Rohit Sharma\u2019s last ball heroics won the match for Mumbai Indians against the spirited Deccan Chargers, Sharma\u2019s iPhone was flooded with a few hundred texts and an alarming number of missed calls.
