Deepak Chahar‘s potential return to IPLremains doubtful after the India and Chennai Super Kings strike bowler suffered a back injury during his rehab at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. The gravity of the injury remains to be ascertained, as it is learned that Super Kings are yet to get a formal report from BCCI.
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. While the initial assessment by the NCA physios projected Chahar was set to miss major chunk of the IPL, the pace-bowling allrounder’s quick recovery kept Super Kings optimistic of a return in late April.
However, the back injury is likely to further endanger Chahar’s return to the IPL, considering the BCCI and the Indian team management would want him to be in peak shape as India prepare for the T20 World Cup due to begin in October.
