Deepak Chahar likely to recover by mid-April: Report
Follow UsChahar suffered a quadricep tear during the third T20I against West Indies which saw him ruled out of the start of IPL 2022
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) pacer Deepak Chahar is likely to recover by mid-April and feature in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, according to a report by Times of India.
Chahar, who suffered a quadricep tear during the third T20I against West Indies last month, was ruled out of the Sri Lanka series. Initial scans suggested that he would have to undergo a surgery, which could've ruled out him out for a substantial period of time.
He is undergoing an eight-week rehabilitation period at National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru and could be ready to join CSK's preparation camp in Surat in a couple of weeks.
The defending champions had shelled out Rs 14 crore for the Indian pacer in the mega-auction last month. The franchise had on Tuesday added Ireland pacer Josh Little as a net bowler ahead of the season.
They will begin their IPL 2022 campaign on March 26 against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
