Hyderabad, India: Cricket lovers are expected to be treated to a feast as the floodlit Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here is all set to host the Indian Premier League (IPL) match between hosts Deccan Chargers and Delhi Daredevils today.
Deccan Chargers led by the stylish VVS Laxman take on Daredevils in the new avatar of the game in what promises to be a fantastic ambience under the lights.
It will be wholesome entertainment for the fans. The cheerleaders will add more glitz and glamour.
With the likes of Adam Gilchrist, Andrew Symonds and Shahid Afridi from Deccan Chargers and Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir from Daredevils in action, the fans cannot ask for more.
The stadium has so far hosted only two One-Day Internationals when India took on South Africa and Australia in 2005 and 2007 respectively. India lost on both encounters.
However, with the IPL rendering the national boundaries irrelevant, the fans are looking for an exciting stuff from some big guns of the world cricket.
As the local boys will also be in action, the hosts will get fan support at the stadium.
