DC vs RR - 2 April 5, 2010

VCA Stadium-Nagpur, one of the best in the world was all set to witness the clash between Deccan Chargers and Rajasthan Royals. The home ground of Deccan Chargers looked fantastic with fans from both sides, geared with cheer sticks, flags, horns, caps etc

Chargers lost the toss and bowled in the first innings. They did pretty well taking wickets at regular intervals, but the fielding was not up to the mark. RP Singh took 3 wickets and in form. Ryan Harris, Dwayne Smith, and Azar Bilakhia's inclusion in the squad looked good for the team. The opponents scored 159 which looked and was attainable.

Captain Gilly gave a good start to the Chargers batting, but the top order and our domestic players failed miserably. Rohit's attempt to give Chargers the much needed win went for a toss. it was indeed a bad day for the Chargers fans.

Adam Gilchrist received the maximun sixes award. Anyway Chargers as a host made their guest the Rajasthan Royals happy...

Victories and defeats are part of any sport, but the will to win is important. Deccan Chargers will be back on track with the well wishes of their fans.
