Malti Chahar 'speechless' after brother Deepak Chahar gets national call-up

The Indian cricket team is scheduled to tour England for a three-match T20I series and a three-match ODI series thereafter. However, they have been jolted with a couple of body blows as two of their players in Washington Sundar and Jasprit Bumrah have been ruled out owing to an ankle injury and a fractured finger respectively.

Krunal Pandya and Deepak Chahar have been announced as their replacements in the T20I format. Both Krunal and Chahar played in the cash-rich IPL. Chahar has carried forward his form in his upcoming fixtures as well. He played for the Chennai Super Kings and notched 10 wickets in 12 matches at a stupendous economy of 7.28. He was mostly entrusted to bowl inside the field restrictions.

Immaculate Deepak

Inside the powerplay, he hardly disappointed as he kept a lid on the batsmen apart from picking up crucial wickets. He suffered a hamstring injury midway through the event but made a strong comeback. He also played a couple of handy knocks for them, batting in the middle-order. On the back of the impressive performances, he was drafted into the India A squad for their tout of England A.

His team, captained by Shreyas Iyer, has already qualified for the Final and Chahar has been pivotal to their glorious run. He missed one match, however, picked up 7 wickets in 3 matches at an economy of 4.04. The fast bowler would now be hoping for another strong show in the Final to help his team emerge triumphant. He won’t have much time though preparing for the India matches.

Meanwhile, Malti Chahar, Deepak Chahar’s sister is delighted by his brother being called up to represent his national side. She couldn’t hold on to her emotions and took to Twitter to congratulate her loved one.

She posted a picture of Deepak and wrote, “I still have my goosebumps… my father is busy over phone… finally dreams come true..I don’t have words. Bhaiiiiiii @deepak_chahar9 #bleedblue #indian #cricket #team #csk”
