Mumbai Indians captain Sachin Tendulkar said the brilliant stumping by Davy Jacobs to send back Daniel Christian off Munaf Patel changed the game its way as his team defeated Deccan Chargers in the IPL, here on Sunday.

“We thought we were short by about 20 runs. But our fielding has been brilliant and the couple of run-outs when Chargers began were too good,” said Tendulkar at the post-match conference.

Rohit Sharma, who scored an unbeaten 56 off 34 balls, said the win was a perfect birthday gift to Tendulkar.

“For me what matters is not the opposition whom we are playing, but how well I perform. And I am happy to have done my bit today,” said Rohit .
