Deepak Chahar suffers hamstring, likely to miss SL series

IND vs SL: Deepak Chahar suffered a hamstring pull in the 3rd T20 against West Indies and will be most likely to drop against the upcoming Sri Lankan series. Chahar did a sizzling performance with the bowl by picking up 2 wickets for just 15 runs and is one of the front-line swing bowlers for the side. IND vs SL
Chahar was looking in fine touch, but suddenly lost his way and got a hamstring pull on the run-up and was seen limping. The incident happened during the start of the West Indies run-chase in the third T20 match at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
IND vs SL: Major Blow for team India
There are also fewer chances that he may miss a few matches for Chennai Super Kings in the upcoming IPL 2022 as he would be rested for a definite period of time.
Earlier, CSK Bided a huge amount of 14 crores for the fast pacer who unfortunately got injured
but with the likes of injury, this could be a major blow for the side as he is a powerplay bowler and has significant ability to pick early wickets which are quite needed for the team.
He will miss the entire tour against Sri Lanka as he will be sent to rehabilitation and rest for a duration of 6-8 weeks. with the absence of Chahar, a new bowler could be replaced and included in the squad.
but the damage is certainly impactful for the side, as we all know how destructive it is. Chahar will bowl in the initial phase of the game and has been prominent in the bowling unit.
Earlier the home side did a great job in setting up a challenging score for the west Indian side and displayed a clinical performance in both departments. With the combined and team effort of the team, the side claimed a complete whitewash against West Indies and recorded their 9th consecutive T20 match win.

The side displayed a great performance featuring a heroic performance of Venkatesh Iyer scoring 35 runs and grabbing 2 wickets and the explosive knock of Suryakumar Yadav of 65 runs from 31 balls.
Who will Replace Chahar?
IND vs SL: With Chahar getting injured, team India would be looking for alternative options in the form of Siraj, Bumrah, and most likely replace him in the team. Team India has good bench-player strength and will not be much worried about injury concerns. Hope potential talented players get a chance to play as there are plenty of quality players in the side waiting in the queue just for a single chance.
