Stats & records
All records IPL only, from the site's ball-by-ball archive.
The IPL's first great turnaround story. Deccan finished last in the inaugural 2008 season, then, still led by Adam Gilchrist, won the whole thing in South Africa in 2009. They reached the semi-finals again in 2010 before fading, and after the 2012 season the BCCI terminated the franchise over financial defaults. Hyderabad cricket continued under new ownership as Sunrisers Hyderabad from 2013. The Chargers' five seasons still produced some of the league's defining names: Gilchrist, Rohit Sharma, Pragyan Ojha and Dale Steyn all wore the dark blue.
