DECCAN CHARGERS MAKES IT TWO IN A ROW
The Deccan Chargers won their second straight match in IPL season 2 with a well fought win over the Banglore Royal Challengers. The Chargers seems to have worked hard on their game after a miserable performance in first edition with only 2 wins in 16 games. With the kind of aggression they show with the bat, ball and on the field the Deccan Chargers have made it clear that they are not mere minnows this time around. If they can maintain the same momentum and intensity throughout the season it may be they who write the rags to riches story which Rajasthan Royals did last time. Adam Gilchrist, the captain led from the front with a blistering 71, with good support from the classy Rohit Sharma who scored 52. The Chargers ended their innings at 184, the highest team score recorded in this season till date. The Banglore Royal Challengers put up a good fightback led by the solid Rahul Dravid (48) and Virat Kohli (50) only to finally end up 24 runs short of the target.

Deccan played really well. However, Bangalore were pretty poor during the opening stages of their innings. I think Uthappa and Peterson played too slowly for chasing a score like 184 and killed the match for Royal Challengers. I agree with your analysis about Deccan's new found vigor. I especially liked the opening bowlers, Edwards and RP Singh.
