Hyderabad.  Setpember 29, 2008.

• Finishing bottom of the IPL early this year and Shahid Afridi's open statement[report here] deploring VVS Laxman's captaincy seems to have weighed Hyderabad Deccan Chargers to change their captain.
• Robin Singh also has been sacked and in his place Australian Darren Lehmannwill be the new coach.
• Laxman can count himself as unlucky too as lot part of the torunament he was injured and it was indeed Gilchrist who was leading Hyderabad team.
• With bat VVS actually had done good, it was failure of other batsmen including Gilchrist which led to Chargers rout.
