I let it slip: Gilchrist

His Deccan Charger counterpart Adam Gilchrist,meanwhile,put the blame on the failure of the top-order batsmen for their loss.

8220;We were very desperate for win,there was a marked improvement in our cricket but obviously very frustrating. The top-order can take a bit of blame for it. I had my chances when I was there; I let it slip,8221; Gilchrist said.

However,the former Australian stumper praised Rohit Sharma for his 44-ball 73 run innings which almost took them to the doors of victory.

8220;Great innings from Rohit,He kept us alive till the end.

He did a great job,8221; he said.
