Mumbai Indians’ recent acquisition, pacer Deepak Chahar, made a striking impact in the DY Patil tournament, securing a five-wicket haul against Central Railways. Playing for Reliance 1, Chahar limited Railways to a modest total of 125 runs.
After being released by the Chennai Super Kings prior to the IPL 2025 auction, Chahar was picked up by the Mumbai Indians for a substantial Rs 9.25 crore. Despite his history of injuries, MI entrusted him with the role, given his prior success in the franchise league. Just weeks before the new IPL season, Chahar has shown a return to form. WATCH
