"Deepak Chahar is slightly ahead in my list" - Aakash Chopra backs the CSK pacer to book 2022 T20 WC spot

Aakash Chopra feels that Deepak Chahar and Bhuvenshwar Kumar are fighting for one spot in the Indian squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia. Chopra, however, believes that Chahar might have the edge over Bhuvneshwar due to his recent batting exploits.

In a video on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra analyzed the possible contenders in the bowling department of India for the 2022 T20 World Cup and said:

"Bumrah is confirmed amongst the fast bowlers. Bhuvneshwar Kumar/Deepak Chahar - Deepak Chahar is slightly ahead in my list because he bats as well. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is bowling better at the moment but eight months' time is still left. So one out of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Deepak Chahar."

Speaking about the chances of Shardul Thakur, Chopra added:

"Shardul Thakur - a very outside chance because Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar - similar kinds of players. Shardul is a middle-overs bowler, neither does he bowl at the death nor in the first six. Deepak Chahar gives you wickets at the start, Bhuvneshwar Kumar probably bowls better than both of them at the death."

Deepak Chahar is currently out of action due to a quadricep tear he suffered during the T20I series against West Indies last month. He will reportedly make a comeback in the IPL during mid-April.
