Deccan to easy win - Deccan Chargers at top of Indian Premier League table

Adam Gilchrist mounted a blistering attack that completely took the spirit off the Royal Challengers and set up an easy victory for Deccan Chargers here on Wednesday.

Gilchirst made 71 off just 45 balls to take Chargers to 184-6, the highest score in the tournament. Rohit Sharma hammered a 30-ball 52 that took the game out of the Challengers’ hands even before they began to bat.

With this victory, Deccan Chargers zoom to the top of the table for IPL-2.

Gilchrist’s innings had glad tidings on another front. The Chargers captain hit five massive sixers. Each hit over the boundary meant that Amway’s Freedom Wheels programme would donate a modified bike to a child with special challenges.

It was Devils’night out

Virender Sehwag slammed a swashbuckling unbeaten 94 to guide Delhi Daredevils to a comfortable victory over Deccan Chargers in the IPL game at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here on Tuesday.

“If it is my day, no one can stop me,” said Sehwag who closed the match with three sixes and three fours in one over.

Set to chase a modest 142 in 20 overs, the visitors started in style with captain Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir blasting the ball around. The Chargers could not scuttle the rapid-fire rate at which the runs flowed from the Delhi willows as they overhauled the target with nine wickets and seven overs to spare.

Nothing went right for the Chargers, who kept losing wickets at regular intervals to put up a low score after electing to bat. It would have been worse but for the brilliance of Rohit Sharma, who accelerated the innings towards the end.
