IPL 2018: 5 uncapped players who might get the selectors' attention this season

#3 Deepak Chahar (Chennai Super Kings)

Deepak Chahar's bowling was influential in CSK's season opener against MI

Unlike other players on the list, Deepak Chahar has got a vast experience in the game. The Agra born medium pacer has had his ups and downs in his career, mostly due to injuries.

Chahar's previous seasons in IPL, where he played for Rajasthan Royals and Rising Pune Supergiant, have not been standing out for him, though he did show some sparkles of potential on quite a few occasions.

Following a great 2018, Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, a major T20 domestic tournament in India, Chahar got selected by the Chennai Super Kings at the IPL auctions.

Though his first match was impressive, he failed to shine in CSK's second game against KKR. Despite this, Deepak seems to be having his skipper, MS Dhoni's, confidence.

A swing talent like him might be handy for the Indian Cricket team down the line. Although, all this depends upon this 25-year-old's performance in this season of the Indian Premier League.

Quit the media industry to pursue this career (And not because I worked until I lost track of the ongoing calendar year).

Btw! I support Real Madrid even after Cristiano's departure. Hope that'd prove my unconditional love and loyalty. Cheers!
