Fit Deepak Chahar, hell bent to prove his worth, sets focus on the T20 World Cup 2024
The pacer of Indian cricket team Deepak Chahar is fully fit and has set his eyes on the T20 World Cup 2024. The CSK pacer missed out on the T20I series against South Africa and Afghanistan owing to personal reasons. With no more T20Is left for India ahead of the T20 World Cup, IPL 2024 automatically becomes the audition stage.
While speaking, Chahar admitted that he had missed out on the series due to personal reasons and that he would have played the series if it were in India. Chahar added that he resumed practice after going to the NCA and that he was fit for the IPL 2024 and the T20 World Cup 2024.
He said, “I was with my father in the hospital for 25 days. He was not in Agra. He was admitted to Aligarh. We all had to stay there.”
“I was only able to do some exercises. I was not able to do any cricketing activities. That’s why I was not ready for the Afghanistan series. I had not practiced for a month or so.
He added, “After that, I went to the NCA. I started my practice again, and now I am fully fit. Everything is good. I trained really hard for the IPL and the World Cup.”
Chahar pinned the blame on injuries for missing the last two T20 WCs. He backed his inclusion in the WC squad, noting that India required a tailender who could bat in the depths as well.
