His brother Rahul Chahar received a contract worth Rs 1.9 crores from defending champions Mumbai Indians, whereas pacer Deepak Chahar was sold for just Rs 80 lakhs. But with his exceptional spell in the opening encounter of IPL 11, he proved why CSK coach Stephen Fleming and his scouting compatriots have hit the bullseye.

Chahar made a name for himself in the match against his brother's team MI, by conceding just 14 runs in 3 overs at a staggering economy rate of under 5 runs per over. If that isn't impressive enough, he dismissed the big-hitting Caribbean beast, Evin Lewis.
