Deepak Chahar is a right-arm medium-fast bowler who represents his home team Rajasthan at the domestic level and the Indian Cricket Team at the national level. He represents Chennai Super Kings in the IPL and has won three IPL trophies.
Chahar came to the limelight when he represented the then IPL franchise Rising Pune Supergiant and was finding a good rhythm with his fellow teammate Shardul Thakur. He made his debut for the Indian team on July 8, 2018, in the 3rd T20I against England in Bristol and took a solitary wicket in his maiden outing.
Chahar was considered a perfect fit for the No. 8 slot in the Indian setup, with his ability to swing the new ball both ways and being a handy batter lower down the order. However, frequent injuries have played spoilsport in Chahar being an Indian mainstay.
In 2019, Chahar became the first Indian bowler to pick up a hat-trick in T20Is and simultaneously held the record for the best-ever figures by a bowler in T20Is then. Chahar’s antics with the bat came in handy when he scored a match-winning 69* against Sri Lanka in a bilateral ODI series in 2021 and when he almost snatched a victory against the hosts South Africa with a half-century.
