IN THE second match of the Indian Premier League 2011, Rajasthan Royals will play against Deccan Chargers at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, Hyderabad, on Saturday evening. Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Deccan Chargers (DC) are the winners of IPL season first and second respectively.
This year former Sri Lankan captain Kumar Sangakkara is leading the completely new-look Chargers. Earlier, he was the captain of Kings XI Punjab, which is now being led by former Deccan Chargers captain Adam Glichrist. Rajasthan Royals management has retained its coach cum captain Shane Warne for the top job.
After their inaugural crown of IPL in 2008, Rajasthan Royals have not performed well in the last two editions. During the IPL auction this year RR management brought in some useful international cricketers such as Rahul Dravid, Shaun Tait, Ross Taylor, Jacob Oram, and Johan Botha, and retained Shane Warne and all-rounder Shane Watson.
Deccan Chargers, who won the IPL 2009 and finished fourth in 2010, has some big players such as Sangakkara, Kevin Pietersen, Dale Steyn, Cameron White, JP Duminy. Meanwhile, Kevin Pietersen and Cameron White are not with the team due to injury and international commitments respectively.
In last year's IPL, two Chargers spinners Pragyan Ojha and Amit Mishra, were the two highest wicket-takers.
The second match of the IPL 4, between Deccan Chargers vs Rajasthan Royals, will start from 4:00 PM, and viewers can watch live telecast of this match on SET Max.
