Mumbai: 
Mumbai Indians skipper Sachin Tendulkar on Friday credited his side's eight-run win over Chennai Super Kings in a thrilling IPL match here to "unbelievable" fielding though he heaped praise on Harbhajan Singh and Rohit Sharma for their bowling and batting performances.
"Rohit batted brilliantly to rally the side and then Harbhajan bowled fantastic but I think fielding was unbelievable and we saved a lot of runs. It was a spectacular show in fielding," Tendulkar said after the match.
Rohit Sharma hit 87 from just 48 balls to take MI to 164 for four after the home side were 13 for two in the fourth over. Harbhajan then scalped this season's second five wicket haul with 5/18 to restrict CSK to 156 for nine.
Tendulkar said his side were 10-15 runs short but they knew they could win the game with a good bowling and fielding performance.
"May be we were short by 10-15 runs. But we said 165 is defendable if we field well and bowled tight. Our catching was very good and ground fielding also brilliant," he said.
