Team India all-rounder Deepak Chahar will probably be returning to Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 after lacking your complete final season resulting from damage. Chahar, who was purchased for a whopping Rs 14 crore on the IPL 2022 mega public sale by the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), didn’t place a single match final 12 months.
Almost at full health now, Chahar will hopefully be obtainable for your complete season for MS Dhoni-led CSK. The four-time IPL champions will open their IPL 2023 marketing campaign in opposition to final 12 months’s winners Gujarat Titans, led by Hardik Pandya. Ahead of IPL 2023, Chahar offered an enormous replace on the longer term of skipper Dhoni within the T20 league.
It was believed that Dhoni will probably be enjoying his remaining season of IPL 2023. However, former cricketers like Harbhajan Singh, Suresh Raina and Shane Watson consider that Dhoni can play for Chennai Super Kings for 3 or possibly even 4 extra 12 months.
“No one has said that this would be his final year. At least, he hasn’t. Hopefully, he will play more. We don’t know any such thing; we want him to play as much as he can,” Chahar informed News India Sports about MS Dhoni.

“He knows when to retire; we saw it when he did in Tests and international cricket. No one else knows. I just hope he continues to play; it’s a privilege to play under him. It has been a dream to play with him. He’s in good touch as well; you will see that when he bats in the IPL this year,” Chahar added.
A ‘bulked-up’ Dhoni has already hit the CSK nets forward of the IPL 2023 season. Since 2008, Dhoni has turned out in 234 IPL matches in his profession and scored 4,978 runs at a median of 39.2 and a strike-rate of 135.2 with 24 half-centuries. In IPL 2022, Dhoni scored 232 runs in 14 matches with 1 fifty and strike-rate of 123.4.
Chahar has picked up 59 wickets in 63 IPL matches in his profession, together with a greatest of 22 wickets in IPL 2019 season.
