Gibbs, who had previously disappointed with the bat, just about broke the shackles with a trademark cover drive before Munaf Patel removed him next ball for 19, before Hyderabad lost their way in the middle overs, if there is any room for the term in the shortest form of the game.
Gilchrist carried the charge to reach his second half-century of the tournament, along with a hundred, but was sent back by Trivedi for 61 before Warne figured in four dismissals, including Rohit Sharma's run out, a batsman who has been a model of consistency for the otherwise inconsistent Hyderabad outfit.
The wily leg-spinner brought himself on immediately after the first six overs and worked his magic, choking off the runs as Jaipur struck an unusual sequence. Having taken just one wicket in 12 overs, Warne struck in the 13th, while a wicket each fell in the 14th, 15th, 16th and the 17th. The sequence ended in the 18th over, but Warne got back into the act in the 19th.
Jaipur's five-match winning streak came to an end in Mumbai, while Hyderabad were on a high after posting a win in Chennai.
Besides the absence of Laxman, Hyderabad made one change to their side, including Ravi Teja in place of Arjun Yadav, while Jaipur excluded in-form Swapnil Asnodkar to draft in Niraj Patel at the top of the order.
Teams:
Hyderabad: Adam Gilchrist (captain), Ravi Teja, Herschelle Gibbs, Rohit Sharma, Scott Styris, Shahid Afridi, Venugopal Rao, Sanjay Bangar, RP Singh, Vijay Kumar, Pragyan Ojha.
Jaipur: Shane Warne (captain), Graeme Smith, Niraj Patel, Yusuf Pathan, Shane Watson, Mohammad Kaif, Ravindra Jadeja, Sohail Tanvir, Mahesh Rawat, Siddharth Trivedi, Munaf Patel.
