T20 World Cup 2022: Top five most expensive players of IPL 2022 who missed out on India's squad for the tournament

2. Deepak Chahar - INR 14 crore (Chennai Super Kings)

Deepak Chahar has been among the best new-ball bowlers in the Indian circuit. He was looked at as someone who can help in getting rid of India’s woes inside the powerplay in the shortest format. Also, he has displayed his ability with the bat too, and his presence has always boosted India’s batting depth.

Deepak has been an asset to the Men in Blue and his IPL franchise - CSK. But the bowling allrounder was sidelined due to an unfortunate prolonged injury layoff for the majority of this year. The 30-year-old did not feature in the IPL 2022 as well. He made his comeback in the ODI series against Zimbabwe last month (August).

The lack of game time went against Deepak. Moreover, with Harshal Patel getting back to full fitness, the swing bowler's chances of making it to the final 15 were diminished. However, he is among the stand-by players for the T20 extravaganza in October.
