The Indian fast bowling all-rounder, Deepak Chahar has suffered a back injury and with that the chances of him making a comeback in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 have gone down further for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The pacer was earlier ruled out of IPL 2022, but the latest development confirms that there are certain chances that Chahar will be missing the T20 World Cup scheduled for October later this year. 

While CSK had bought back Deepak Chahar for INR 14 crore and they were hoping for him to get fit before the second week of April, however, the seriousness of the tear was such that there was “no chance of his availability” in the tournament. According to sources in the Times of India, Chahar suffered a back injury during his rehab at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru.

Deepak Chahar has been at the NCA for more than a month now, recovering from the quadricep tear that he sustained during India’s T20I series against West Indies in February. Initially, it was believed that Chahar would miss a major part of the IPL, but his quick recovery kept CSK optimistic of making a comeback in late April. 

The bowling all-rounder had suffered a quadriceps injury during the third T20I against West Indies in February, walking off the field after failing to complete his spell. As per the reports of Times of India, according to the results of the scan, Chahar will be out for at least four months for the back injury. Earlier, he had a quadriceps tear and was trying to get fit for the IPL.
