Chahar played well for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2018

Deepak Chahar is one of the most promising young medium pacers in the Indian domestic cricket for quite some time. With 19 wickets, Deepak Chahar was the highest wicket-taker in the Syed Mushtaq Ali 2017/18.

Deepak Chahar was brilliant for Chennai Super Kings in the recently concluded IPL 2018. He opened the bowling for Chennai and did an exceptional job with the new ball. He was also selected in the India 'A' side because of his superb form.

He picked up 13 wickets in 5 List A games in ongoing India A tour of England. Deepak Chahar can swing the new ball and is accurate with his line and length. He could be a good replacement for Bumrah, especially if India are looking to strike early with the new ball.
