IPL-Team Deccan Chargers

The reigning title-holders of the second edition of the IPL, Deccan Chargers had a fairytale second season. Plagued by poor performances, the team was placed at the bottom of the table at the end of IPL's opening season. But they scripted an incredible turnaround in the second edition, claiming the title. Much credit for their rags to riches story goes to their captain Adam Gilchrist. 

 113310.2

His compatriot Darren Lehmann joined the team as coach for the second edition. Deccan's pace attack is led by the fiery Fidel Edwards and the steady RP Singh. They bought out Sri Lankans Nuwan Zoysa and Chamara Silva ahead of the third edition. To further strengthen their bowling, they picked up the much sought after West Indies fast bowler, Kemar Roach, for a staggering USD 720,000 at the 2010 auction. U-19 player Harmeet Singh was also picked for the coming tournament.

IPL-Team Chennai Super Kings

chennai

Chennai Super Kings, owned by India Cements, managed to get the prized services of Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the inaugural edition of IPL. Quite understandably, the Indian captain commanded the highest price at the player auctions - a whopping USD 1.5 million. Australia's batting tour de force Matthew Hayden was roped in to give the batting a destructive edge - and he played his role to perfection in two successive seasons.

Stephen Fleming, who doubled as coach in the second season; the wily Muralidaran; batsman Suresh Raina; and all-rounder Albie Morkel helped Chennai reach the final. When the second round of auctions took place, Andrew Flintoff joined as one of the highest-paid players. In 2009, Hayden scored prolifically while his team entered the semi-final, only to be piped at the post by RCB. Fleming has now been bought out by the side and is just the coach. At the 2010 auction, the team bought South African Justin Kemp, they also brought in Sri Lankan Thisara Perera for a sum of USD 50,000.

Scarlett isn’t lucky just because she’s starred in many a Woody Allen movie as her breathy, sexy self, or because she nabbed hottie Ryan Reynolds as her husband last year. Nope, this newly-brunette bombshell has what it takes in the fashion world as well.

ScarJo was announced as the new Face of Mango at Santo Mauro Hotel on July 13 in Madrid, Spain, and will be appearing in their ad campaigns.

Britney Spears at 52nd Annual Grammy Awards

Taylor Swift, who had 8 nominations at the 2010 Grammy Awards, has won the Grammy Award for the Best Country Album. She accepted the award decently, and said that it was the first time that she walked up to the Grammy stage to accept a Grammy. She was a big winner in the Country Music Awards last year too.

It may be recalled that apart from her Grammy win the gorgeous Taylor Swift has sent a new download record. She shattered Britney Spear’s first week download record, with her song ‘Today Was A Fairytale’. Her fans downloaded her track so much, that Britney Spears record was easily shattered. Taylor Swift’s song was downloaded 325,000 times in the last week, which is 39,000 times more than the previous record held by Britney Spears.
