IPL 2018, DD vs CSK: 5 players to look forward to

Deepak Chahar

This tall, young fast bowler has been a find coming out of the CSK team. A team which has had its struggles to find the right combination as far as their bowlers go, Deepak Chahar has been a standout.

His natural ability to swing the ball both ways at a nippy pace allows MSD the opportunity to attack and get wickets upfront. His strength truly lies when the ball is hard and new, where he has troubled most opposition batsmen.

MSD has used him brilliantly. He has bowled out Deepak Chahar by the 10th over of the innings. It’s good to see that each player has got fixed roles in their side, one of the reasons they are second on the points table.

The likes of Dwayne Bravo, Shardul Thakur, and Shane Watson are used as death bowling options, whereas Deepak Chahar is used as an attacking option at the top of the innings. This youngster may have got only 7 wickets this season, but it’s the control he brings at the top of the innings with a measly economy rate which what stands out.

Don’t be surprised if you see Deepak Chahar bowl all his overs in one spell unless someone like a Rishabh Pant takes him out of the attack.
