Indian right-arm fast bowler Deepak Chahar attributes his success in cricket to Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the country’s former captain. According to Chahar, Dhoni’s direction provided him a lot of confidence, which resulted in strong performances.
Chahar, who missed the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) season due to a hamstring injury, is ready for India’s comeback in the ODI series against Zimbabwe.
The 29-year-old CSK all-rounder acknowledged that climbing the ranks was never simple, but he insisted on working hard “day and night” to reach his objective. Since his recovery, he has been training at the CSK academy.
The graph is going to rise and fall. For many years, it declined for me, but I persisted in putting in long hours of labour. I have always believed that working hard is the only option. The day and time will come if you put in the effort, and you’ll play well. You’ll receive what you are due, declared Chahar.
Before suffering an injury earlier this year, Chahar had scored two straight half-centuries for India in ODIs. one last year against Sri Lanka and one earlier this year against South Africa. He responded, “When I started playing, I always aspired to be an all-rounder,” when questioned about his batting. As much as my bowling, I also wanted to concentrate on my batting. I was watching for an opportunity, that’s all. I attained that match at last. I only had one thought when I stepped up to the plate: I wanted India to win. We had the overs, but I only scored one or two runs in the first 20 balls. To win the game, in my opinion, we needed to bat through every over. I had the idea to challenge specific bowlers. My only thought was to win the game since it was what I wanted. He was quoted as saying in the Times of India, “Every kid desires to play that type of innings.
India defeated Sri Lanka in that match but fell short against the Proteas.
