Deccan Chargers (abbreviated as DC) is a defunct IPL franchise which was based in the city of Hyderabad.[1] The franchise was one of the eight inaugural members of the IPL in 2008 and winner of 2009. It was owned by Deccan Chronicle Holdings Ltd. After finishing at the bottom of the points table in the first season, they won the second season held in South Africa in 2009 under the captaincy of former Australian wicket-keeper-batsman Adam Gilchrist. Gilchrist was the captain of the team for the first three seasons of the IPL with Rohit Sharma as his deputy. From the fourth season, Kumar Sangakkara led the team and Cameron White played as his deputy. The team was coached by former Australian cricketer Darren Lehmann.[2]
The owners put the franchise up for sale in 2012 due to constant banning of team players in previous seasons but declined the sole bid. On 14 September 2012, the IPL governing council terminated the franchise for breaching contract terms.[3] Subsequently, the Sun TV Network won the bid for the Hyderabad franchise, the BCCI confirmed on 25 October 2012.[4] The new team was named as Sunrisers Hyderabad.[5]
In July 2020, a Bombay High Court-appointed arbitration tribunal ruled that the termination of Deccan Chargers by BCCI was illegal. Deccan Chronicle Holding Ltd was awarded a compensation of ₹4814.67 crore plus 10% interest from 2012 by the BCCI.[6]
