It could not have been a better finish for Deccan chargers. the IPL 2012 ended with two comprehensive wins for them at their home, which would have ended the so called bad curse.
The stand out performers for the Deccan chargers have been elegant shikhar dhawan and fast furious dale steyn. the duo performed match after match for their team consistently which can be seen from the list of highest run getter's and wicket takers where both of these are right up their with the rest in top 5. dhawan at 2nd place and steyn at 5th to be precise.
Shikhar dhawan , not so hyped batsman, was very quick to get his bat going this season scoring his first 50 in the third game and never looked back. the southpaw has carried forward the good run he had last season during which he scored 400 runs and improved it even better this season with 569 runs which has taken him to the second highest run getter position of this season. He scored 5 fifties in 15 games and of which the 73 against RCB, 84 against Delhi's top quality bowling and 71 against Punjab have been the best. Giving him company most of the times was the Australian cameron white, who was also in prime form this season scoring 479 runs.
Dale steyn, the world's most feared bowler of the present generation was at his brutal best right through out the tournament rattling the batsmen time and again with speed and control. has he played all the matches he would have given his African team mate morne morkel a run for the purple cap. his economic and wicket taking spells have most of the times put the DC in great position. His spells of 2 for 10 , 3 for 12 and 3 for 8 have been the best in the ipl's history. With an economy of 6.10 he was able to dry the flow of runs most of the times. dale steyn was well complemented at the other end by amit mishra , the leg spinner , who kept the pressure on opposition and made crucial breakthroughs when needed.
With more consistent efforts from the other players along with these two in the team , Deccan chargers will be the team to beat come the next season next year.
