Deepak Chahar career

Unlike many other Indian cricketers, Deepak Chahar did not exactly have a great start to his cricketing journey. At the very beginning of his journey, he faced rejection from Greg Chappell, the Director of the Rajasthan Cricket Academy in 2008. That did not dwindle his spirits. He showed what he was capable of when he played for Rajasthan in a match against Hyderabad. He picked up 21 wickets and let Hyderabad walk away from the field wih just 21 scores.

He was pure fire in the 2018 season. He blossomed into an all-rounder bowler under the leadership of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. He was one of the leading wicket takers.

Soon after he was selected for the India A series squad against West Indies A and England Lions. He beat every other bowler to become the bowler with the most wickets to his name.

He failed to make a mark at both of these debuts, but he was given another due to his bowling technique and prowess as a bowler.
