IPL 2023: Deepak Chahar, a pacer for Chennai Super Kings (CSK), was involved in a humorous incident involving captain MS Dhoni during the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Importantly, CSK defeated RCB on Monday, April 17, in Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium to earn their third victory of the IPL 2023 season.
The visiting team was given the opportunity to bat first in the first innings and put up a spectacular performance thanks to crucial hits from Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane, and Shivam Dube. Conway hit 83 runs off of 45 balls, and Rahane and Dube added 37 and 52 runs each to help the team to a staggering 226-run total.
But, Deepak Chahar, who was forced to watch from the sidelines due to a hamstring injury, was involved in a humorous incident in the middle of the first innings. During the intense match, the bowler, who was sat in the dugout, was astonished when captain MS Dhoni started shadow batting.
When Dhoni padded up and started shadow-batting in front of him in the dugout, Deepak can be seen appearing noticeably perplexed in the footage. Deepak instantly got up from his seat to avoid being hit after the captain raised his bat close to his face.
CSK managing a number of injury worries
Incidentally, Deepak suffered a hamstring injury against the Mumbai Indians in Match 12 of the current season and had to leave the pitch after the first over. The CSK physios assisted him in leaving the pitch after the injury, which occurred on the fifth ball of his first over.
All-rounder Kyle Jamieson and pacer Mukesh Choudhary were both declared out for the whole season, causing a string of injuries for the yellow team. Ben Stokes, Simarjeet Singh, Chahar, and Sisanda Magala have all sustained injuries that will keep some of them out for the remainder of the year. But, CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan stated that Stokes is expected to return in the upcoming matches when speaking with Cricbuzz.
“Ben (Stokes) is doing well, he is recovering quickly, and he should be ready for the game on April 30. He might even be prepared early, perhaps by the game on April 27,” Kasi Viswanathan told Cricbuzz.
