Deccan Chargers
Deccan Chargers is the IPL franchise that represents Hyderabad. Despite of being one of the strongest teams, in IPL 2008, the team’s performance was very poor. It won only 2 matches in the 14 matches it played in total and finished at the bottom of the rankings for the first season. The most expensive player of Deccan Chargers in 2008, Andrew Symonds, played only in 3 matches. Neither the batsmen nor the bowlers of the team performed well.
