Emirates today announced that it has chosen to become the team sponsor of Indian Premier League (IPL) side Deccan Chargers for the next three years.
The international airliner based out of Dubai would support the Hyderabad club, part of the Deccan Chronicle group which won the IPL in 2009, for the forthcoming season starting next month.
The Deccan Chargers will begin its title challenge against the Chennai Super Kings in Vizag. The team is lead by Sri Lanka’s Kumara Sangakkara and has South African stars, J.P. Duminy and Dale Steyn, and Australian, Cameron White, among others turning out for it.
Ms Gayatri Reddy, Deccan Chargers Co-owner, said, “We look forward to the tournament and repeating our winning performance in DLF IPL 2012.” The IPL team management denied they were divesting stake in the team.
