The end of second season of DLF IPL






Well, this was what happened when the DLF IPL's second season came to and end in South Africa yesterday night. In the nail biting final match the Deccan Chargers beat Royal Challengers by 6 runs. It was followed by firework shows not only the official one in South Africa but also unofficially by a number of fans in Hyderabad. The first I witnessed on TV courtesy Sony Max and the later live in Hyderabad itself.

Well I have been supporting the Team Hyderabad right from the start of the first season, but unfortunately it lost most of its matches in the first season to finish at the last spot. The first season was also not very good for this year's runner up RC, who finished at 7th spot last year just a place better than the Hyderabad.

This year IPL was moved to South Africa, because of security issues due to the general elections in India. But the organization teams' commitment ensured the tournament was no less successful at the new location.

Lets hope that the tournament gains more popularity in future and the Hyderabad Deccan Chargers retain the trophy the year after year.
