Any sport will experience injuries, but if they occur frequently, they may change the course of some players’ careers. Due to his repeated injuries, Deepak Chahar has acquired the questionable moniker of being “injury prone,” and his most recent setback will concern CSK more than he does.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) placed second-to-last on the IPL 2022 points table with four victories and ten losses. Their bowling, especially in the absence of Deepak Chahar, who missed the entire season due to a back ailment, was the primary cause of their combined failures. At the previous mega auction, the right-arm quick, one of the Yellow Army’s longtime workers, was purchased for INR 14 crores, and there were high expectations for him to perform.
CSK won the IPL El Clasico against MI by 7 wickets
Following that, Chahar, who is regarded as India’s expert in the Powerplay, developed a stress fracture and a quad grade 3 tear, forcing him to miss many of India’s recent games, including the T20 series and previous T20 World Cup in Australia. The 30-year-old was finally ready to play again in IPL 2023 after overcoming all of his ailments, but in his third appearance, he was nothing but a huge disappointment.
Chahar stretched his left hamstring while bowling five deliveries in IPL 2023 Match 11 between CSK and Mumbai Indians (MI), which was played at Wankhede Stadium. The physio Tommy Simsek proceeded to check him out right away after being instructed to do so. He took off his pants, and the physio came to his aid with some tape. Chahar did not carry on playing after finishing the over by nearly walking during the run-up.
Although Chennai Super Kings won the IPL El Clasico game against Mumbai Indians by 7 wickets, Chahar’s latest injury, which might potentially set them up for an entirely catastrophic season because they lack any well-known faces to lead the pace attack, saddened the Twitterati as well as CSK fans.
