India's predicted second-string playing XI for the Asia Cup
Even after knowing the fact that the Asia Cup might be shifted, the BCCI is looking forward to sending a second-string squad.
7. Deepak Chahar
Deepak Chahar has been a regular member of the CSK squad since 2018. He is another bowler who has grown under the guidance of MS Dhoni and managed to make it to the national squad. Even though Chahar is not quick, his accuracy is enough to trouble the batsmen. And this makes him one of the upcoming superstars of Indian cricket.
Chahar has played in 48 IPL matches so far. With a wicket tally of 45, one would come to the conclusion that he is a bowler who bowls pretty economically. And an economy rate of 7.63 justifies that fact. Chahar has played superbly on the international stage too. As he has picked up 18 wickets in 13 matches.
He has the best bowling figures of 6/7 in T20Is, which is a record in Indian cricket. Adding on, an economy rate of 7.57 in T20Is and 7.63 in IPL is amazing. This makes him a bowler who quietly does his job to perfection. Chahar’s rise to the top has been through the IPL and as he has performed exceptionally well, he is our first seamer. Adding on, he has a batting strike rate of 139.29 in IPL, which is not the worst for someone who bats at number seven.
