On the other hand, Deccan Chargers may have left wanted with their performance but the victory over Chennai Super Kings has given them more self-belief.
The fifty plus runs innings of Australian Adam Gilchrist paved way for Deccan Chargers. Though skipper VVS Laxman, who could not play in last match due to fitness problems, too has played few good knocks and their batting has been dependent on Rohit Sharma.
South African Herschelle Gibbs and Pakistani Shahid Afridi are yet to make their presence felt in the team. It was the medium pacers Paidikalva Vijaykumar, Rudra Pratap Singh, and New Zealander Scott Styris who exploited good bowling conditions to pave victory over Chennai Super Kings.
The Deccan Chargers are trying hard to regain the ground they had lost in earlier matches rather unexpectedly. They mean business, this can be judged by the fact that they came here a little earlier to get acclimatised with the conditions.
The match will be played on the same strip on which hosts had defeated Kolkata Knight Riders.
"It will be a good wicket for 20-20," assured curators Abdul Saeed and Taposh Chatterji. |
