Chennai Super Kings could miss tempo spearhead Deepak Chahar of their subsequent few IPL video games after his left hamstring damage appeared to have resurfaced as soon as once more.
Chahar was out for a greater a part of 2022 because of the hamstring damage and it was irritating to see him hobbling after bowling one over towards Mumbai Indians in Mumbai on April 8, 2023.
CSK legend Suresh Raina, who’s doing commentary for ‘Jio Cinema’ mentioned: “It seems Deepak will be out for 4-5 games. It looks he has again sustained hamstring injury and looked in discomfort. All the other IPL venues are far off from Chennai and there will be lot of travelling involved.” Skipper MS Dhoni mentioned on the post-match presentation that the victory was satisfying contemplating his staff misplaced the providers of Chahar within the first over itself.
“Feels good. Not to forget we lost Deepak in the first over. He’s our new ball bowler and Magala playing his first match. The good thing is spinners bowled well. It was a bit two-paced and after seven overs, it started turning,” Dhoni gave his evaluation.
“The spinners and the fast bowlers came back well. Magala was good and so was Pretorius.” Dhoni was all reward for younger Tushar Deshpande.
“We believe in him, and when you’re new you are under pressure but playing in the IPL for a few years brings different pressure. He had a great domestic season, he is improving. He has a lot of potential but he can improve by not bowling those no-balls, and by being more consistent.”
Told Jinks that I’ll again him
Ajinkya Rahane did not begin within the first two video games however meals poisoning to Moeen Ali gave him an opportunity and he grabbed it marvellously with a 27-ball-61.
“Me and Jinks (Rahane’s nickname in cricket fraternity) spoke at the start of the season and I told him to play to his strengths, use your ability to manipulate the fields.
“I informed him to go and revel in, do not take stress and we’ll again you. He batted nicely and he was not pleased with the best way he bought out, that claims all of it. I believe each recreation is necessary, you have a look at the issues in entrance of you and take it one step at a time, not have a look at the league desk for now.”
Wanted to maintain my shape, says Rahane
Rahane, on his part, said that despite not getting chance in the first two games, he was always mentally prepared.
“I had a very good home season. I simply attempt to keep my form. The deal with timing. It is all about it’s a must to really feel that you’re enjoying a match. IPL is an extended match and also you by no means know whenever you get a chance. I at all times get pleasure from enjoying at Wankhede.
“Important thing about Mahi bhai and Fleming is they give freedom to everyone. Mahi bhai told me to prepare well.”
