“Firstly, he takes wickets with the new ball. There isn’t any Indian of this kind. You can think of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sandeep Warrier, Shivam Mavi…I didn’t even go with Harshal Patel, despite him picking 32 wickets last season to win the Purple Cap. But I feel probably he won’t cost that much,” he said on his YouTube channel.
- Deepak Chahar has emerged as a key bowler in the powerplay.
- He has also raised his batting prowess with a couple of fifties in the last two white-ball series for India. He scored 34-ball 54 vs South Africa and 69 against Sri Lanka.
- CSK & Dhoni will be keen to retain his services but could face a stiff challenge with the addition of the Lucknow & Ahmedabad franchises.
- The 29-year-old has grown from strength to strength throughout the season. He has taken 22, 12 & 14 wickets in the last 3 editions of IPL. His overall economy rate of 7.8 makes him a great pick for IPL 2022.
“Deepak is you bank in the first three overs. He can come and give you early wickets in the powerplay. There is nothing better than that. He can break the back of the opponent. In death overs, he is alright, not great. But that can work. I feel CSK will try to get him back once again. Ahmedabad and Lucknow will also try. Every franchise will try to get him in their team. And he has started batting as well,” he added.
