Team in Review - Deccan Chargers

Owner - Deccan Chronicle

Head Coach - Robin Singh (Rabindra Ramanarayan Singh)

Assistant Head Coach - Kanwaljit Singh

Captain
- Vangipurappu Venkata Sai Laxman

CEO - J Krishnan

Team Manager - Shishir Hattangadi

Colors - Beige and Black

Den - Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad

+es...
Arguably the three best T20 specialist all rounders are in their ranks - Andrew Symonds, Scott Styris and Shahid Afridi..
Gibbs, Symonds, Styris and Afridi are some of the best fielders on the international scene and with some exciting young players and the Indian National team's fielding coach at the helm expect some fireworks in the field..
Adam Gilchrist's retirement from international cricket and availability for the whole season could send shivers down the opponents..

-es...
Bowling line up of the team doesn't look all that impressive.. People in charge may find it difficult to create an efficient attack with restrictions on number of overseas players in playing eleven..
Not many other weak points but for the sake of counting, Gibbs, Symonds, Styris and Vaas have not been in great form of late..

Why follow them...
Adam Gilchrist, Andrew Symonds, Shahid Afridi, Herschelle Gibbs.. Does sporting entertainment get bigger??


Look out for...
Rohit Sharma
- He hasn't got many chances at the international level, but he gives glimpses of the genius in him..
Arjun Yadav - He could be the next big thing for
India for the shorter version of the game..

Probable Starters...
Adam Gilchrist
Sanjay Bangar
VVS Laxman
Rohit Sharma
Venugopal Rao
Andrew Symonds/Scott Styris
Shahid Afridi
RP Singh
Chaminda Vaas
Pragyan Ojha
D Kalyan
Krishna/ Arjun Yadav
