IPL 2023 Deepak Chahar: In the mega auction of IPL 2022, Chennai Super Kings bought Deepak Chahar for a whopping amount of Rs 14 crore. But last year Deepak Chahar could not play due to injury. Before the mini auction, the franchise kept faith in Deepak and did not release him. Now in IPL 2023 he is playing for Chennai Super Kings. But he has failed to bowl effectively in the powerplay as before. During this, Deepak Chahar also proved to be very expensive. The batsmen of the opposition team have scored runs on his balls. In the match against Lucknow Super Giants, Kyle Mayers put many powerful strokes on his balls. Overall, the bet of 14 crores placed on Deepak Chahar has failed so far.
14 crore bet failed
The performance of Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2022 was extremely embarrassing. Last season, CSK’s team finished ninth in the points table. The Chennai team won only 4 out of 14 matches in IPL 2022. The franchise expected in the 16th season that Deepak Chahar would do charismatic bowling for the team. But Deepak has failed to do so. If we look at the statistics of his last two matches in IPL 2023, then in the match against Gujarat, he gave 29 runs in 4 overs. And in the match against Lucknow, he gave away 55 runs in 4 overs. During this, he did not show control over the ball like before. CSK must be missing the 14 crore bowler now.
the figures will surprise you
Deepak Chahar is often considered a stingy bowler. But the figures are exposing themselves. From the year 2019 to 2023, if you see the bowling figures against some of his teams, you will be surprised. In the year 2019, he took one wicket for 40 runs in his spell against Punjab Kings. In the same year against Mumbai, he took one wicket for 46 runs in his spell. In the match held in Abu Dhabi in the year 2020, he scored 47 runs in his spell. During this he did not get any wicket. In IPL 2021, he was able to take 1 wicket for 48 runs against Punjab Kings in Dubai. At the same time, in IPL 2023, he could not take a single wicket after scoring 55 runs in his spell against Lucknow. These figures show that Deepak Chahar has remained an average bowler for the last few seasons.
