#2 Deepak Chahar
The Agra-born seam bowler and elder brother of Rahul, Deepak Chahar was roped-in by Chennai Super Kings for Rs. 80 lacs. He was a part of Rising Pune Supergiant for the last two years. He has played only five games in the IPL, performing below par with only a wicket to his name.
However, the 25-year-old has turned the tables upside down in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2017/18, where he finished as the highest wicket-taker in the tournament. Chahar scalped 19 wickets from nine matches at an astounding economy rate of just 5.58 runs per over.
CSK, having a knack discovering Indian bowling talent, might have stumbled on the right person who could bring home the Purple Cap.
