A back injury to Deepak Chahar has held back the pace-bowling all-rounder’s hopes of playing in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL), adding to the sorrow of Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) sloppy campaign.
Having entered the tournament without Chahar, their main bowler, the defending champions have lost all their four matches so far in the 10-team competition and are placed at the bottom of the points table.
According to sources, the India and CSK bowler suffered the back injury during his rehab at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru
Chahar has been at the NCA for more than a month now, recovering from the quadricep tear he picked 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 about a late April return.
But now it is confirmed that he has been ruled out from the tournament.
CSK has yet to announce his replacement.
