Rohit century takes Mumbai to No. 3

PTI, Kolkata
Rohit Sharma cracked a strokeful unbeaten century to power Mumbai Indians to a convincing 27-run victory over Kolkata Knight Riders
in their Indian Premier League clash, in Kolkata on Saturday.
Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, making a comeback into the Kolkata side after an extended period on the sidelines, was Kolkata's only successful and most economical bowler as Mumbai piled on a mammoth 182 for the loss of only one wicket. Opening the bowling, Shakib pouched the prize scalp of Mumbai batsman Sachin Tendulkar, having him stumped off the second ball of his second over. He eventually finished with figures of one for 27 in four overs.
The win snapped Knight Riders' six-match winning streak and perched Mumbai Indians to third position in the table with 16 points, one less than second-placed Kolkata.
Sharma entertained the packed Eden crowd with his 60-ball 109, studded with twelve boundaries and five sixes, while Herschelle Gibbs made his Mumbai Indians debut in style with an unbeaten 66.
The duo shared an unconquered 167-run second-wicket partnership to propel Mumbai Indians to 182 after winning the toss.
The total proved too much for Kolkata, who managed to score 155 for four, built around Jacques Kallis's superb 79 and Yusuf Pathan's unbeaten40.
Sharma's maiden IPL century was the season's fourth century while his partnership with Gibbs was second only to David Warner and Naman Ojha's 189-run stand for Delhi Daredevils against Deccan Chargers.
The Knight Riders never really looked comfortable chasing the stiff total with their in-form skipper Gautam Gambhir dismissed in the first over.
The left-hander, who got a reprieve in the first delivery he faced, saw his middle stump shattered by a Munaf Patel ball when he tried to make room but missed the line.
The hosts soon lost Manvinder Bisla to be reduced to two for three in the second over. Manoj Tiwary and Kallis looked to repair the damage but when their 57-run stand was broken, it dented their chase further.
The South African veteran stood tall in the Knight Riders chase and found a fine ally in Yusuf Pathan but it was not enough against the imposing target. For Mumbai, Patel, Pragyan Ojha, Dwayne Smith and Kieron Pollard took one Wicket each.
