Deepak Chahar reminds me.of a line from Ashish Nehra. “Body mein injury nahi, injury mein body fasi hain”. #MIvsCSK—Tapan Joshi (@tapanjoshi28) April 8, 2023
Chahar was making a comeback from injury after suffering a back injury in February 2022 that sidelined him from the last season’s IPL.
He was looking to return from injury at the T20 World Cup but suffered another injury setback that ruled him out.
He finally made a comeback at the tour of Bangladesh last December and picked up a quad grade 3 tear.
