MS Dhoni’s CSK suffer Rs 14 crore setback as THIS player set to miss majority of tournament

Categories: IPL 2022

Deepak Chahar, who proved out to be Chennai Super Kings’ costliest buy at IPL 2022 mega auction,  is likely to miss the majority of the IPL 2022 season due to an injury, said a report by ESPNCricinfo on Wednesday.

Chahar had sustained a right quadriceps injury while turning out for India in the final T20I against West Indies at Kolkata and was ruled out of the subsequent T20I series against Sri Lanka. The bowling all-rounder has been at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) for further management and recovery from the injury. 

The impressive performances for the Indian team translated into Chahar earning a huge paycheck of INR 14 crores in the IPL Mega Auction from CSK. Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals commenced the bidding first for Chahar. The two franchises came out all guns blazing as Chahar's value breached the 10-crore mark.
