IPL 2022: Deepak Chahar out for 4 months, CSK scramble for options with these 3 PLAYERS who can replace the pacer – Check out
But CSK’s problems don’t end there. Deepak Chahar being an excellent pacer and a handy all-rounder makes it difficult to find a true like-to-like replacement. Hence, CSK are expected to go for a pacer instead of an all-rounder. While CSK fans have been gunning for Ishant Sharma to replace Chahar, there are two others who are available.
Ishant Sharma is currently the leading choice to replace Deepak Chahar in the CSK squad. With an experience of 93 IPL matches under his belt, the lanky pacer is the best fit to fill the void left by Chahar. While at 33, Ishant’a age may be a concern for the franchise but CSK is known for getting the best out of veteran players. Ishant’s equation of playing under skipper MS Dhoni may also make his case strong. The lanky pacer was part of the Delhi Capitals in the last season, however, was left unsold in the mega auction for IPL 15.

Sandeep Warrier, who was part of the Kolkata Knight Riders, last season made his international debut for India in July 2021. However, at the IPL mega auctions, none of the franchises showed much interest in getting the Kerala pacer. While Warrier doesn’t have much experience in the IPL, he has impressive numbers in domestic T20 tournaments. In the 63 T20 games that Warrier has played, he had picked 59 wickets at an economy rate of just over 7 and an average of 27.59.

Dhawal Kulkarni is the third choice with an excellent resume. While he is now busy being a commentator in the IPL, he is still an active cricketer and could be a good choice. He has shown in the past that he could bat and could be a handy addition.
The experienced campaigner was left unsold at the IPL auction. At RR last year, Kulkarni did not get enough matches in the past few seasons after being picked by Mumbai Indians. His experience of over 90 IPL games could help lead the CSK bowling attack while guiding young pairs like KM Asif and Tushar Deshpande who have been picked by the team.
