Gilchrist carries Chargers to huge win
06:42 AEST Mon Apr 28 2008

Retired Test great Adam Gilchrist delivered the most impressive innings of the Indian Premier League so far, clubbing 109no from 48 balls to lead the Deccan Chargers to a ten-wicket thrashing of Mumbai.

VVS Laxman contributed an unbeaten 36 as they overhauled the home side's 7-154 with 44 balls remaining from the 20 overs.

The battle of the bottom teams resulted in the first win for the Chargers in four games and left the Mumbai Indians, minus suspended spinner Harbhajan Singh and injured captain Sachin Tendulkar, searching for a maiden win.

Batting for Mumbai, West Australian Luke Ronchi compiled 13 from 11 balls.

Gilchrist was the obvious choice for man of the match after a century containing ten sixes.
