MUMBAI (Reuters) - The BSE Sensex fell on Friday, snapping a four-day winning streak, led by declines in lenders such as ICICI Bank on profit-taking, after recent steep gains on rate-cut hopes were seen as overdone ahead of the central bank's annual policy review next week.

ICICI Bank Ltd fell 2.79 percent, while State Bank of India Ltd ended 2 percent lower.

The BSE Sensex fell 0.62 percent, while the 50-share Nifty ended down 0.74 percent.
