Deepak Chahar was surprisingly dropped from India’s playing XI for the second game against Zimbabwe. The medium pacer was replaced by former CSK teammate Shardul Thakur, sparking debate whether he is 100% fit or not. The official word on his return to the bench is workload management.
Deepak Chahar only made his comeback in the 1st ODI on Wednesday after a six month layoff. The 30-year-old struggled with a quadricep tear followed by a back injury, missing the build up to the T20 World Cup.
Having returned, Chahar gave a reminder of skill set, picking up 3/27 in a seven over burst with the new ball. Zimbabwe never really recovered from that deadly spell and India clinched a rather convincing 10-wicket win.
