Who is replacing Deepak Chahar: Chennai Super Kings’ pacer Deepak Chahar has been ruled out of the IPL 2022 season due to a back injury.

Chennai Super Kings have struggled a lot in the IPL 2022. They have managed to win just one of their six games in the tournament so far, and all the remaining games are almost Do or Die for them.

Chennai Super Kings have certainly missed the services of Deepak Chahar in the IPL 2022. Chahar has been the main asset with the new ball in the last few years, and he has been absolutely sensational for them in the initial overs of the game. Deepak Chahar was expected to be back in some part of the IPL, but he is now completely ruled out.

Deepak suffered a quadricep tear which forced him to miss India vs West Indies T20Is just before the Indian Premier League. He went to the NCA (National Cricket Academy) for his rehab, but he suffered a back injury there. He is said to be ruled out for four months and he can even miss the T20 World Cup this year.
