Deepak Chahar became the second most expensive player in the IPL 2022 auction and was included in his camp by the CSK team by paying Rs 14 crore. Chahar is known for his ability to swing with the new ball and take wickets in the powerplay but he could not play the role for his team due to injury. Former India head coach Ravi Shastri believes that if Deepak Chahar had been available for CSK this season, he would have made a mark with his ability to pick up quick wickets.

Had he played, he would have taken a lot of wickets this season considering the pitch. There was some swing on the pitch with the new ball and it looked very good for his game.

He said, ‘If MS Dhoni captains the next season, then he would like to retain bowlers like Mukesh Chaudhary, Simarjit Singh and Mahish Teekshna in the team. These players will absolutely do better in their performance. However, as soon as the transfer window opens, the CSK team will try to include some middle order batsmen and fast bowlers in their camp.

Will come Dhoni put a full stop on all the speculations that this could prove to be his last season.

Dhoni said after the toss of the last league match played against Rajasthan, ‘Absolutely I will be seen playing next year.
