CSK bought Deepak Chahar for INR 14 crore in the mega auction this year.
Deepak Chahar’s wait to return back to cricket will last a little longer than expected as he is likely to be out of the game for the upcoming three months. The CSK pacer, who is set to miss the entire IPL 2022 season, is likely to be sidelined for three more months owing to the back injury that he sustained at the National Cricket Academy, Bangalore.
As per NCA’s letter to the CSK management and the BCCI, it is being said that Deepak Chahar suffered an L5 injury to his back and that recovery is not possible anytime soon. Chahar’s rehab will start after six weeks as the youngster will be under complete rest for the said period.
“After a hamstring injury (sustained during a T20 game at the Eden in Kolkata against West Indies), he had been undergoing rehab at the NCA hoping to join his IPL franchise in the second half. But he developed back pain while bowling and tests have revealed that he has L5 issue in his lower back,” a CSK source was quoted as per Cricbuzz.
Chahar was brought back by CSK for a whopping price of INR 14 crore, and he has played a pivotal role throughout his journey with the franchise. He is known for giving his team the early breakthrough by getting the crucial wickets during the powerplay. CSK will surely miss his services this year.
