‘CSK Lobby, World Cup pakka’ – Fans react as Deepak Chahar smashes 43 off 31 in Rajasthan Premier League

Deepak Chahar returned to the scene in the ongoing Rajasthan Premier League 2023 as his team Bhilwara Bulls faced off against the Shekhawati Soldiers Sikar in the third match of the tournament. The Soldiers won the toss and elected to field first. The Deepak Chahar-led side managed to score 146/6 in 20 overs with Chahar remaining the highest scorer with 43 off 31, including two fours and three sixes. Opener Meet Bhavsar with 32 off 37 played a slow but foundational knock. Towards the end, handy contributions of 32 off 22 and 21 off 10 by Karan Lamba and Kunal Singh Rathore, respectively, took the score beyond the 145-run mark.

As such, Deepak Chahar’s handy knock of 43 off 31 came in as a breath of fresh air for the Chennai Super Kings allrounder. After having won the IPL with his team, Deepak Chahar was out of action for a considerable period of time. Moreover, he missed parts of the IPL due to constant injury problems. Therefore, being back to the competitive atmosphere with an eye-catching knock is the best way to return for the all-rounder. Moreover, the ODI World Cup’s squad selection is in the process and every Indian cricketer would want to give their best.

Deepak Chahar did not bowl a single over

Coming to the game, Rituraj Singh dropped a magnificent performance with figures of 3/17 in four overs for the Soldiers. At the same time, Kanhaiya Lal, Sachin Yadav, and Abhimanyu Mathur returned with one scalp each.

The Soldiers’ response only took them 19 overs to chase down the target. Ramnivas Golada with 33 off 31, including three fours and a six set the tone for the chase. At the same time, skipper Mahipal Lomror with 57 off 41, including six fours and two sixes, and Kartikey Choudhary with 36 off 20, including three fours and two sixes, finished the job for them. Deepak Chahar did not bowl a single over as his team suffered a loss by 7 wickets. However, his performance was surely promising.
