==Franchise history==
The Hyderabad franchise was bought by [[Deccan Chronicle|Deccan Chronicle Holdings Ltd]]. The media group acquired the franchise for US$107 million on 24 January 2008.<ref>{{cite web|title=Group M to pick up 20% in Hyderabad IPL team |url=http://indianpl.com/news/%20group-m-to-pick-up-20-in-hyderabad-ipl-team/ |date=27 February 2008 |access-date=28 March 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081102040713/http://indianpl.com/news/%20group-m-to-pick-up-20-in-hyderabad-ipl-team/ |archive-date=2 November 2008 }}</ref> The Chargers logo is a charging bull.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.deccanchargers.com/node/315 |title=DC unleashes war cry {{!}} Deccan Chargers |access-date=12 April 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080324005100/http://www.deccanchargers.com/node/315 |archive-date=24 March 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref> From the 2009 season, the team changed the colour of the jersey (from beige and black to sparkling silver and blue) and the logo (from gold and red to white and blue). There was no [[Icon Player]] for the team as the former captain [[V.V.S. Laxman]] rejected the offer to be an icon player in order to free funds and enable the franchise to buy and encourage younger players.

===Franchise termination===
Due to financial problems [[Deccan Chronicle|Deccan Chronicle Holdings Ltd]], the team owner of Deccan Chargers announced a sale of their team by auction. The sale, announced in a newspaper advertisement on Thursday, was to be through a bidding process that was to be completed on 13 September, with the winning bid to be announced on the same day.<ref>{{cite web|title=Deccan Chargers franchise up for sale|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/581166.html|publisher=ESPN CRICINFO|access-date=15 September 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120912190529/http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/581166.html|archive-date=12 September 2012|url-status=live}}</ref> However the auction for the franchise on 13 September 2012 ended with no results as the team's owners rejecting the sole bid they received from [[PVP Ventures]].<ref name="espncricinfo1">{{cite web|title=Deccan Chargers reject sole bid for franchise|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/582048.html|publisher=ESPN CRICINFO|access-date=15 September 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120916090402/http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/582048.html|archive-date=16 September 2012|url-status=live}}</ref> It was reported that Deccan Chargers owner rejected the bid by PVP ventures as DCHL's bankers were not happy with PVP's plan to divide the bid amount in two parts over the next ten years.<ref name="espncricinfo1"/> Later on 14 September 2012, the BCCI announced that the Deccan Chargers IPL franchise was terminated due to BCCI codes by DCHL<ref name="espncricinfo1"/> and the tender will be called for new team.<ref>{{cite web|last=ESPN|first=CRICINFO|title=BCCI terminates Deccan Chargers franchise|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/582292.html?CMP=chrome|publisher=ESPN CRICINFO|access-date=14 September 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120916225448/http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/582292.html?CMP=chrome|archive-date=16 September 2012|url-status=live}}</ref> DCHL moved to court to sort their issues with BCCI on termination.<ref>{{cite web|title=www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/582379.html|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/582379.html|publisher=ESPN CRICINFO|access-date=15 September 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120918063930/http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/582379.html|archive-date=18 September 2012|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Indian Premier League==

===2008 season===

====Players====
The franchise initially acquired star players [[Adam Gilchrist]], [[Andrew Symonds]], [[Shahid Afridi]], [[Scott Styris]] and [[Herschelle Gibbs]]. The main bowlers purchased by the franchise were [[R.P. Singh]], [[Nuwan Zoysa]] and [[Chaminda Vaas]]. The other Indian players are [[Rohit Sharma]], [[Yalaka Venugopal Rao|Venugopal Rao]], and [[Pragyan Ojha]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ipl/content/squad/338087.html|title=Deccan Chargers Squad / Players|access-date=15 October 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190607104834/http://www.espncricinfo.com/ipl/content/squad/338087.html|archive-date=7 June 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>

====Performance====
Despite the fact that the team was one of the favorites to win the [[2008 Indian Premier League|inaugural edition of the IPL]], the team finished last. [[Andrew Symonds]], who was Deccan's most expensive player, batted only 3 innings before leaving to play for the [[Australia national cricket team|Australian national team]]. In addition, the team captain [[V.V.S. Laxman]] had an injury which ended his season after 6 games. Only three bowlers [[R. P. Singh]], [[Pragyan Ojha]] and [[Shahid Afridi]] took more than 4 wickets in the competition. In this 14 match period, the team went on a losing streak at home and only managed 2 wins overall, one against the [[Mumbai Indians]] and one against the [[Chennai Super Kings]] and as a result they finished at the bottom of the table.

===2009 season===
{{main|Deccan Chargers in 2009}}

====New administration and support staff====
After the debacle of 2008, the team management sacked the entire administration associated with the tournament in that year. They removed their CEO J. Kalyan Krishnan, Coach [[Robin Singh (cricketer, born 1963)|Robin Singh]] and the Captain [[V.V.S. Laxman]] and replaced them with Tim Wright, the former Australian batsman [[Darren Lehmann]] and former Australian Wicket-keeper [[Adam Gilchrist]] respectively. Many new players were taken from domestic circuit and also few new international players were signed. The 2008 sponsor [[Jaypee Group]] withdrew its sponsorship due to the 2008 debacle. After this, the Deccan Chargers went through a complete makeover, including changing the colours of the team from pale brown to vibrant blue and a new logo displaying a more vibrant charging bull with [[Deccan Chronicle]] as the primary sponsor for the team. Among the other members of the support staff, their physio Sean Slattery and performance analyst Unni Krishnan were retained and were part of the team to win the IPL second edition in 2009 which was held in South Africa.

====Tradings====
In low key trading of players, the Deccan Chargers management had placed [[Shahid Afridi]] and [[Herschelle Gibbs]] up for sale, a direct result of their below par performance during the 2008 season. However, no franchise owners were interested in purchasing these two players. Later, the Deccan Chargers management severed all ties with [[Shahid Afridi]], due to his disagreement with former team captain [[V.V.S. Laxman]]. Also, Former Indian all-rounder [[Sanjay Bangar]] was transferred to the [[Kolkata Knight Riders]].

====New signings====
Before the second player auction took place the management signed [[Queensland]] all-rounder [[Ryan Harris (cricketer)|Ryan Harris]] owing to a strong recommendation from coach [[Darren Lehmann]]. In the resulting auction the Deccan Chargers franchise acquired two [[West Indies|West Indian]] players, [[Fidel Edwards]] for a fee of $150,000, and [[Dwayne Smith]] for $100,000. Seven new domestic players were also signed up including batsmen [[Tirumalasetti Suman]] and Abhinav Kumar, and bowler [[Shoaib Maqsusi]] from the [[Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh|Hyderabad]] team after their consistent performances on the domestic circuit. Baroda batsman Azhar Bilakhia and two fast bowlers from [[Punjab (India)|Punjab]], Jaskarandeep Singh and [[Harmeet Singh (cricketer born 1987)|Harmeet Singh]] were also signed on.

====Performance====
With the below-par performance in the inaugural season and finishing at the bottom, Deccan staged an inspired comeback in 2009 by winning the second IPL season. After having an undefeated run in the initial league stage, the team suffered minor setbacks by losing some close matches. But the return of [[Andrew Symonds]], [[Rohit Sharma]] regaining form and the continuing exuberance of captain [[Adam Gilchrist]] bolstered the side. Some luck came in Charger's way towards the end of the league stage, with Kings Punjab and Rajasthan Royals losing key matches, enabling the Chargers into the semi-finals. During the semi-finals against the [[Delhi Daredevils]], who were at the top of the table, few gave the Chargers a chance of an outside win. But against the odds, Gilchrist scored a sensational 85 off just 35 balls to put the Daredevils out of the competition and give the Chargers their first IPL final against the [[Royal Challengers Bangalore]].

In the final match, Gilchrist got out for a duck in the first over, however the Chargers managed to recover and posted a total of 143 for the loss of 6 wickets. Many felt that a good defending total could have been a further 20–30 runs. The Chargers came out with all guns blazing right from the first ball, and this spirited effort ensured that they successfully defended the total, winning the game by 6 runs and lifting the prized IPL trophy.

===2010 season===

====Performance====
After winning 2009, there were high expectations on Chargers. Team opened with a loss in their inaugural match against KKR but subsequently won next three matches. But thereafter Chargers went on to lose the next five matches. With a situation where many doubted whether Chargers will be able to make to next round but it has made it by winning next five consecutive matches and qualifying for playoffs. But Chargers lost both games in play-offs i.e. Semifinals and third place. [[Pragyan Ojha]] won the [[Purple Cap]] by becoming the highest wicket taker for them in the same season.

===2011 season===
{{main|Deccan Chargers in 2011}}
Before the start of auction Chargers decided not to retain any players and have put all the players in auction. The much awaited Auction on 8 and 9 January 2011 lived up to the expectation; in fact it exceeded in many ways. Daniel Christian was termed as million dollar baby as he was hardly known to the world cricket at that point of time. Chargers did pick very good players in Cameron White, JP Duminy, Ishant Sharma, Dale Steyn and skipper Kumar Sangakkara. But at the same time Chargers lost many of Indian players such RP Singh and [[Rohit Sharma]] as well as Australians [[Andrew Symonds]] and Adam Gilchrist.

====New signings====

=====Foreign inclusions=====
*[[Kumar Sangakkara]], [[Cameron White]], [[Dale Steyn]], [[Michael Lumb (cricketer)|Michael Lumb]], [[Daniel Christian]], [[Rusty Theron]], [[JP Duminy]], [[Chris Lynn]]

=====Indian players inclusions=====
*'''Capped Players''': [[Shikhar Dhawan]], [[Ishant Sharma]], [[Harmeet Singh (cricketer born 1987)|Harmeet Singh]], [[Pragyan Ojha]], [[Amit Mishra]], [[Manpreet Gony]]
*'''Uncapped Players''': [[Bharat Chipli]], [[Ishan Malhotra]], [[Ishank Jaggi]], [[Sunny Sohal]], [[Jaydev Shah]], [[Prem Vardhan]], [[Anand Rajan]], [[Kedar Devdhar]], [[Dwaraka Ravi Teja]], [[Arjun Yadav]], [[Ashish Reddy]] and [[Akash Bhandari]].

====Performance====
Team started the campaign by losing first 2 games but team won next match. There after team started losing badly despite winning some games and was therefore eliminated from the competition. But team bounced back by showing pride by winning final 3 matches which did not allow a chance for other teams for qualifiers. Team disappointing performance was clearly due to inexperience in the squad especially due to lack of Indian international batsmen. Fans of DC have criticized management for not holding back [[Rohit Sharma]] during player retention. Chargers got to play IPL matches at Hyderabad after almost 3 years, but dismal performance at their home ground continued with a win against RCB being the only exception. However, in the away matches, Chargers did manage to beat Delhi Daredevils, Mumbai Indians, Knight Riders, Pune Warriors and Kings XI Punjab. They ended on a high with 3 consecutive wins but could not scale above 7th position in the league standings.

===2012 season===
{{main|Deccan Chargers in 2012}}

=====Contracts bought out=====

====Performance====
The Chargers failed to deliver on a consistent basis in 2012 with narrow and consecutive defeats. [[Shikhar Dhawan]], [[Dale Steyn]] and [[Cameron White]] were the only players who helped the team put up a fight. Team weakness was the bowling and fielding department, with fast bowler [[Ishant Sharma]] being ruled out due to injury and spinner [[Pragyan Ojha]] traded to [[Mumbai Indians]]. Deccan finished eighth out of the nine teams in the league stage points table, after languishing at the bottom for most part of the season. Deccan Chargers came into the season being characterized as 'underdogs', and they are yet to lose that name.

==Champions League Twenty20==
The [[Twenty20 Champions League]] was an international [[Twenty20]] cricket competition between clubs from [[India]], [[Australia]], [[England and Wales|England]], [[South Africa]], [[Sri Lanka]], [[New Zealand]] and [[West Indies]]. The competition was launched in 2008 as a response to the success of national Twenty20 domestic cricket leagues, most notably the [[Indian Premier League]].
