Deccan Chargers poor performance continued in IPL, the latest defeat against. Rajasthan Royals registered a convincing eight-wicket victory over the uninspiring Deccan Chargers in their IPL league tie. Deccan chargers middle order fumbled against a disciplined Royals bowling and good fielding

Gilly’s  61 off 49 balls was in vain for Deccan because the rest of the line-up failed and ended up with only 140. Afridi yet again given his wicket with a irresponsible shot . Rohit  was unlucky to get runout.  Hyd chances of entering semis now looks unlikely

Rajasthan chased the score with 4 more overs to spare. Yusuf Pathan and Graeme Smith 109 run opening stand ensured royals to reach top of points table

Adam Gilchrist led his side to a much needed victory with a bludgeoning 36-ball 54 Scott Styris (36 not out), Rohit Sharma (23) and Shahid Afridi (20 not out) contributed to a convincing victory against super kings

Deccan Chargers’ stand- in captain Adam Gilchrist won the toss and elected to bowl against Chennai Super Kings. RP and new boy Viajy Kumar gave a perfect start to Hyderabad. Vijay is impresive in his first IPL match and removed Parthiv Patel and Srikkanth Anirudh, son of former India captain Kris Srikkanth. He would have got one more if Sanjay Bangar hanged to tough catch in first slip

Rohit Sharma and Herschelle Gibbs made up for them with two outstanding catches as Stephen Fleming (14) and S Badrinath’s (0). Raina again failed to convert his good start into big innnings, while MS Dhoni was removed by Pragyan Oja. Albie Morkel and Manpreet Gony fired in last overs and set a modest target. Chennai’s top order again failed. Hayden and Hussey’s departure seriously damaged there prospects

Deccn chasing a modest total, GIlchrist led the charge by scoring 54 from 36 balls. Gibbs smashed a six and four before being coaught and bowled by Gony. gilli got perfect support from Styris and was especially on ntini. Rohit sharma slammed a 17 ball 23 and become top scorrer in DLF IPL. Afridi ended the game with his 6 ball cameo of 20 ( 2 4’s and 2 6’s)

Looks like Home ground is very unlucky to Deccan Chargers, despite doing a pooja/yaga in stadium on wednesday, Deccan Chargers were once again trashed in front of home crowd.

Kings XI Punjab won the toss and elected to field against Deccan Chargers at Hyderabad. Rohit Sharma stood tall amid ruins and hammered an unbeaten 42-ball 76 as Deccan Chargers posted a modest 164 for eight against Kings XI . V.V.S. Laxman (48 off 34 balls) and Shahid Afridi (13 off seven balls) are the only other batsmen to cross double figures. Piyush Chawla once again impressed with a three-wicket haul, conceding 28 runs in his four overs

Kings XI’s new opening duo of Marsh  (who I predicted will be one of the biggest star after the tournament) and Ramnaresh Sarwan (15 off 15) gave a perfect start, putting up 41 runs.An unbeaten 81-run stand between debutant Shaun Marsh and Mahela Jayawardena powered Kings XI Punjab to a comprehensive seven-wicket victory against Deccan Chargers
