Team India’s bowler Deepak Chahar, is likely to miss the forthcoming T20I home series versus Sri Lanka owing to a hamstring strain. Chahar pulled his right hamstring while delivering in the 3rd Twenty20 International versus the West Indies. The right-arm fast bowler began the bowling and hit in both his 1st and 2nd over. However, he had to make a move out of the field, despite receiving severe strain. Deepak Chahar injury may have led him to miss the forthcoming T20I.
Whereas the impact of Chahar‘s ailment is uncertain, the bowler seemed to be in much discomfort and requested help to be removed off the field. Admittedly for India, Chahar’s unavailability did not pose too much of a concern, as they won the match by a decent margin of 17 runs and the series 3-0, courtesy to the other bowling unit with their consistency.
Deepak Chahar injury might probably miss the first few weeks of the IPL?
According to the Insider, this could take up to 6 weeks to fully heal from a grade one injury. If this is the case with Chahar, he may probably miss the first few weeks of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The 29-year-old was just acquired by the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the recently completed IPL mega auction for a staggering Rs 14 crore. While he’s out for an extended time, the franchise’s objectives could be blown out.
In terms of the national team’s upcoming duty, Chahar, who is gradually establishing himself as a crucial component of India’s bowling assault in the shortest version of the game, there’s certainly a questionable pick for the series versus Sri Lanka. The 1st of 3 T20Is will be contested on February 24th at Lucknow. Following the 3-match T20I series, there will be 2 test fixtures.
