[WATCH] CSK's IPL 2022 breakout star Mukesh Choudhary meets up with his teammates as he recovers from an injury

Injured Chennai Super Kings (CSK) pacer Mukesh Choudhary interacted with his teammates on Saturday, April 15. The left-arm pacer was the stand-out bowler for CSK last season.

With Deepak Chahar missing IPL 2022 due to an injury issue, Mukesh rose to the occasion and took the responsibility of the lead pacer. He ended up as Chennai's highest wicket-taker by scalping 16 wickets.

Unfortunately, he was ruled out of IPL 2023 last month due to a stress fracture. CSK have roped in young pacer Akash Singh as his replacement ahead of the new season. Akash was part of the Rajasthan Royals squad in 2020 and 2021.

CSK gave fans a glimpse of Mukesh Choudhary's recent interaction with the squad members by sharing a video on their official Instagram handle. They captioned it:

The Rajasthan Royals then beat them by three runs in a close contest at home in their recent match on Wednesday.
