Group India and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) pacer Deepak Chahar has uncovered that he was chosen by Rising Pune Supergiant coach Stephen Fleming as a batting all-rounder amid IPL 2016.
As such, Chahar spoke to the Pune foundation for two seasons now and then as of late moving to CSK. Where Fleming remains his coach. It shows disdain toward the reality that he has made a title for himself as a match-winning swing bowler. The 29-year-old expressed that he has been centering on his batting since 2014.
A part of individuals was shocked when Deepak Chahar made a match-winning 69 not out in an ODI in Sri Lanka. Be that as it may, the bowler, in interaction with Aakash Chopra, revealed that he has continuously had decent batting ability.
“When I was chosen for Pune in the IPL, (Stephen) Fleming Sir had actually selected me as a batting all-rounder, not a bowling all-rounder. During the first trial game, I scored 48 or 49. The next day, he promoted me to one-down and I scored a half-century. That’s how I was selected in the Pune team,” Deepak Chahar told Chopra
MS Dhoni
Agreeing with the pacer, his current IPL captain MS Dhoni values players who contribute in different departments. Deepak Chahar, himself, is sharp to gotten to be a flexible cricketer.
“After Pune, I came to CSK. MS Dhoni likes players who can contribute to all departments. In 2018, he sent me ahead of himself in one of the games and I made 40-odd in 19-20 balls. But after that, I didn’t get to bat much. I have been working on my batting since 2014 as there is too much competition in bowling. If you contribute with the bat, it gives you an edge during selection,” Deepak Chahar further added.
