What should Deccan Chargers do?
This is the only team if plays well could be unbeatable. But, that has not happened so far. Reasons are multi-fold but if the following things are taken care of, they might be back to their winning ways.

Deccan Chargers ran out of charge
This is the first time I have witnessed a match in the stadium and I was not disappointed. Match went down till the last ball and I was expecting a bowl out. It all started when Ramiz Raja said “namaskara Benguluru“. Laxman won the toss and elected to field. Quite rightly so. Chargers did a [...]

In what have been a quick turn of events, Shahid Afridi picks up two wickets in 3 balls. First it was Mohammad Kaif and then it was Greame Smith. They coulnt ask for more. But looked like the couldn’t take more. 4th ball of the over was hit high and deep by Jadeja and Doddapaneni [...]
Another aussie comes to party

Why is there no icon player for Deccan Chargers?
The answer is two-fold:
One version of the story is Deccan Chronicle owner of Deccan Chargers requested BCCI to grant icon status but they have declined.
