The fairytale run continued in the second edition of the Indian Premier League, but with a different lead, as Hyderabad Deccan Chargers came on top after a disastrous first season.
With South Africa playing the host due to political reasons in India, it was expected that the level of gaming will be higher than ever. Even though it was expected that the turnaround and the atmosphere will not be as good as the subcontinent, but the African fans proved everyone wrong. And in the electronic environment, Deccan Chargers came from a bottom finish in the previous season and ended up winning the IPL.
Former Australian Wicket Keeper, Adam Gilchrist, did the same job as Warne and inspired his team to the next level. The likes of Herschelle Gibbs, Rohit Sharma, Pragyan Ojha, Fidel Edwards, Andrew Symonds, RP Singh and Dwayne Smith gave able support to his captain in winning the tournament. Gilly got the Player of the Tournament for his batting, keeping and captaincy, whereas RP Singh came out with the Purple Cap by being the leading wicket taker of the tournament.
