Back to basics for Chargers
Hyderabad
Oct. 7: It was back to the basics for the Deccan Chargers at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday, a day after their four-wicket win against Otago Volts in a practice match at the same venue.
The shaky start for the current Indian Premier League champions meant that skipper Adam Gilchrist had to start the session with a pep talk with the boys before getting into the drill. The Chargers who were bolstered with the arrival of R.P. Singh looked sharp in the field — be it during the fielding sessions or while playing football. The second part of the session saw the bowlers wielding their willows instead of hurrying the batsmen. So, one witnessed RP, Fidel Edwards and Harmeet Singh playing shots and they did not disappoint. The regular batsmen then took over.
