Deepak Chahar may miss the entire season due to a back injury

The start of the current regular IPL season for the current champion turns out to be very difficult. It seemed that Chennai could get a very serious boost in the form of the return to the ranks of one of its leaders, Deepak Chahar. But the news for Chennai fans was unpleasant the day before — Chahar is still injured.

Recall that the Indian player was injured back in February. It was expected that Deepak would be able to return to the ranks by the second week of April, but this did not happen: Deepak Chahar may miss the entire season due to a back injury.

Got back muscle damage during the T20I match

The official information is as follows: Chahar suffered back muscle damage during the T20I match against the West Indies. Then Deepak was forced to leave the field ahead of schedule.

Stephen Fleming, Chennai’s head coach, managed to comment on the news that Chahar will not appear on the field this season.

“The start of this season is hard for us. And, of course, we are upset by the news that Deepak will not be able to help us soon. But we have an experienced team that knows perfectly well how to behave in difficult situations. I think we can survive this difficult period,” Fleming said.
