RR vs CSK: Why is Deepak Chahar Playing Today’s Match IPL?

The Chennai Super Kings will once again take the field without their pace bowler Deepak Chahar part of the CSK playing XI for today’s RR vs CSK match. Unfortunately, while bowling during the previous IPL 2023 game against Mumbai Indians, the 30-year-old fast bowler pulled off his hamstring which subsequently ruled him out of action for the matches against Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders. The CSK team management have already stated that Chahar is on the road to recovery but it is still not clear as to when he will be available for selection in the IPL 2023 season for the Chennai Super Kings. It is reported that the CSK new ball bowler might be making a return in the first or second week of May.

In the current IPL 2023 season, Deepak Chahar’s bowling performance for CSK was not up to the mark. Despite playing in three matches, he was unable to take any wickets and his economy rate was over 10 runs per over.
