Chargers slump to third straight defeat


Andrew Symonds smashed the fastest century in the IPL to date but the Rajasthan Royals condemned the Deccan Chargers to a third straight defeat.

The Australian all-rounder was at his belligerent best as he brought up his ton from just 47 balls - on the way to an unbeaten 117.

He struck seven sixes and 11 fours in a lesson in explosive hitting as the Chargers posted 214 for five.

But Shane Warne cracked successive sixes off the last two balls of the innings, making 22 from just nine balls to lead his side to a three-wicket win.

Yusuf Pathan earlier struck the fastest IPL half-century - from just 21 balls - in his score of 61 and Graeme Smith plundered 71 to help the Royals to 217 for seven with one ball to spare.
