Deepak Chahar is one of the key players of the defending champions Chennai Super Kings. The 29-year-old player has missed the first half of the IPL 2022 after suffering a quadricep tear he picked during India's T20I series against West Indies in February. The latest is that he might be unavailable for the whole season now.

The franchise has had a bad season so far in the current season of IPL with 4 losses out of the 4 matches they played. The team is struggling to find a balanced playing XI without the presence of the pace all-rounder. Sources say that the bowler suffered a back injury during his rehab at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru.

Some reports suggest that while the injured pacer was supposed to join the CSK team in Mumbai later this week, this new health complication has made his return uncertain. As per the reports by Inside Sport, Deepak Chahar might miss out on the entire IPL 2022 tournament. Fans are saddened that this might worsen the team situation more.
