Reigning Indian Premier League champs continue poor home run; lose to Somerset this time off the last ball
Though Deccan Chargers are the defending IPL champions, when they entered the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium on Saturday to face Somerset and open their Champions League Twenty20 campaign, they were a bit wary. After all, the Hyderabad-based franchise was the only IPL team to have lost all its seven home games in the inaugural edition of the IPL last year. And their dismal record at home carried on as they suffered a shocking three-wicket defeat.
