Deccan Chargers | Indian Premier League (IPL) Cricket Team
The Deccan Chargers of Hyderabad are owned by Deccan Chronicle. While local favourite VVS Laxman selflessly gave up his chance to be an Icon Player in order to help his team have more to bid with.
The gesture paid off and the Deccan Chargers added the likes of Adam Gilchrist, Andrew Symonds, The team for the first match in 2010 is A Gilchrist (captain/wk), A Reddy, A Singh, A Bilakhia, H Gibbs, H Singh, VVS Laxman, M Mishra, P Ojha, D Ravi Teja, R Sharma, RP Singh, T Suman, B Sumanth, A Symonds, C Vaas, V Rao and A Yadav
The Deccan Chargers mascot represents a charging bull signifying strength, power and aggression while the red and gold bands on the flag stand for dominance and victory..
Looking at the results and you would think this team were no hopers, that's not so they had some big hitters on the field last season unfortunately they were badly let down by poor bowling. When they lost skipper WS Laxman to injury the team lost it's way.
They have now brought in a new captain in Adam Gilchrist, changed the backroom staff with new coach Darren Lehmann.
Last year's record: Matches: 16, Won: 10, Lost: 6. Champions
Season 2010 record Matches Won 7 Lost 9 finished fourth
