Deccan Chargers were the franchise that represented Hyderabad before SRH took over. They were crowned champions in the second season of the IPL.
Adam Gilchrist was amongst the most popular faces of this side and was one of their most consistent performers. The franchise became defunct after the 2012 season, which led to the inception of SRH before the sixth edition of the tournament.
