IPL 2 Winners : Deccan Chargers - Hyderabad

Hyderabad's Deccan Chargers owned by Deccan Chronicle newspaper group staged a remarkable fightback to upstage Royal Challengers Bangalore owned by Vijay Mallya by six runs in a nail-biting final and win the second edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2) at Johannesburg on 25th may 2009 , sunday. Both the teams from southern Indian displayed superb performance but deccan chargers held their nerves and won the trophy.

Adam Gilchrist and his never-say-die Deccan Chargers teammates pipped Royal Challengers Bangalore to a modest 6 runs win, Bangalore could only score mere 139 for 9 in their quota of 20 overs. Pragyan Ojha was Hyderabad's most successful bowler, with figures of three for 28.Indeed bowlers of Deccan Chargers gave a superb performance despite Gilchrist failing to score in the final match.Symond must also be appreciated for all the talking he did during the match.Lets Hope on the lines of IPL 2 Final match victory Hyderabad will soon over take Bangalore in the IT sector too ..... lol .

It can also be accrued to fate that the two teams that occupied the bottom of the table in the inaugural edition contested the final this year. Both, along with Delhi Daredevils , qualify for the inaugural Champions League T20, to be held in India in October. Hyderabad's triumph meant that for the second year running an Australian captain lifted the coveted trophy. 

Bangalore's defeat also meant it was a day of double despair for their owner, Vijay Mallya . His F1 team, Force India, had earlier in the day at the Monaco Grand Prix failed to secure their maiden points in Formula One after coming desperately close -- Italian Giancarlo Fisichella finishing ninth. Other major dissappointment was Knight Riders from Kolkatta , Shahrukh khans (SRK) team which ended last in the points table. Mumbai had fair chance but due to injury of Zaheer Khan impacted them a lot and they could not recover. Other main controversy was the fake IPL blog which attracted lot readers as well as the media to it .

Earlier, a superb spell of bowling by Anil Kumble (4-0-16-4) helped Bangalore restrict the Chargers to a paltry 143 for 6. But no other bowler could do the trick as the legend kumble did. Herschelle Gibbs scored a superlative 53 not out off 48 balls (3x4, 2x6) to keep the Hyderabad challenge alive. The South African combined aggression with caution to good effect to anchor the team's innings to perfection after the early dismissal of Adam Gilchrist for zero. Owners of Deccan Chargers - Ram Reddy and others and the all the people from Hyderabad were too excited and were found celebrating on the roads and burning crackers. Lali Modi , commissioner of IPL 2 handed over the trophy to Adam Gilchrist and the entire team.

Three teams from the southern india were in the top four of this IPL season and delhi being from the north india.

Life A Journey

When we are born and when we get ability to think the first thing that pops in our mind is "When will we grow up " and we get a feelling that when we grow up all our dreams will be fullfilled without any resistance from elders.This thought prevails few more years and then we are burdened with our aspirations . When we are in adolescent age next thought that comes up in our mind is time is running faster than a train . We feel that we have more problems when compared to others and trust me we cant get rid of this feeling .

Life each day will be experience for us and we need to learn from our mistakes , making sure we dont repeat them again. We meet so many people every day but we remember few people who did either good or bad to us. Well when we spare even a minute for some one , it doesnt mean that we are wasting time . In reality we are giving a part of our life to them which can never come back ever again. 

In this journey , we meet people every day ....... Few turn out to special friends , few friends , few enemies . And each of them has importance , specially enemies unless they proove your wrong you wont even think of doing better than before. 

Other category friendship is called TIME PASS FRIENDSHIP, they remember you only when they dont have our special friends around or when they are in need of us . The line which best describes them is "FRIEND INDEED IS FRIEND IN NEED " . These people will remember only when they are need or just before they are going to be in need.  These people are more dangerous than enemies , we cant even make out their intentions.True friends is the one who remembers you in their good times.

Lol ..... thats all for the day folks .......... to be continued , got to catch up SRK's movie now .
