Mumbai, April 12: Chennai Super Kings, the defending champions, have lost four games in a row to begin their IPL 2022 campaign. CSK, headed by Ravindra Jadeja, are preparing to face Royal Challengers Bangalore in their fifth match of the season on Tuesday (April 12) in Mumbai, but they have received some bad news about their star all-rounder Deepak Chahar.
The CSK pacer has been rehabilitating at the NCA in Bengaluru following a quadriceps ailment. He has yet to play his first match of IPL 2022. Chahar has now been diagnosed with a second injury at the NCA, a recurrence of an earlier back injury.
“We are not aware of this back injury. He has been working very hard to get back to shape and play again for us. But for now, he remains unavailable”, a source close to CSK management said.
Notably, Chahar was a key member of CSK’s title-winning season in the IPL 2021. Last season, he took 14 wickets in 15 games.
