The Deccan Chargers (DC) were a franchise cricket team based in Hyderabad, India, that competed in the Indian Premier League (IPL), a professional Twenty20 cricket (T20) league in India. They were one of the eight teams that competed in the inaugural 2008 Indian Premier League. The team was captained by V. V. S. Laxman and coached by Robin Singh.
Despite being one of the favourites to win the inaugural IPL,[1] they finished at the bottom of the table, winning only two games out of fourteen.
After the 2008 season, the team management sacked the entire administration associated with the tournament in that year. The captain and coach were also replaced.[2]
