Deepak Chahar - A Lifestory
Swing King: Pace And Accuracy, A Winning Combination
Deepak Chahar is an Indian international cricketer who primarily plays as a rightarm mediumfast bowler and a lowerorder batsman. He was born on August 7, 1992, and hails from Agra, Uttar Pradesh. Chahar made his firstclass debut for Rajasthan in 2010 and quickly gained recognition for his ability to swing the ball effectively. He initially struggled with injuries early in his career, but persevered and worked on his fitness to become a more consistent performer.
Chahar's breakthrough came in the Indian Premier League (IPL), where he has represented various teams, including the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Under the guidance of captain MS Dhoni at CSK, he honed his skills and became a vital part of their bowling attack. He is known for his accuracy, variations, and ability to bowl crucial overs in the powerplay and at the death. His performances in the IPL earned him a callup to the Indian national team.
He made his international debut for India in a Twenty20 International (T20I) match in 2018 and has since become a regular member of the limitedovers squads. Chahar holds the record for the best bowling figures in a T20I match, taking six wickets for just seven runs against Bangladesh in 2019, including a hattrick. Besides his bowling, Chahar is also a useful lowerorder batsman, capable of hitting crucial boundaries. He continues to be a valuable asset for both his IPL team and the Indian national team, contributing significantly with both ball and bat.
