Deepak Chahar confía en que el CSK “lo querrá” en la mega subasta IPL 2025

Deepak Chahar has been with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) since 2018. The pace-bowling all-rounder has found incredible success with the new ball at the Chepauk Stadium and wishes to return to the franchise. With just six retentions possible, CSK didn’t retain Chahar ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. But, like last time (2022), he expects them to buy him back.

“I was not retained by them in the last mega auction as well. But they went all out for me and bought me back. I don’t know what will happen this year, but I know my skill will be valued more now given the fact that around 90-100 runs are being scored in the powerplay and that’s why the teams are scoring more than 200 more frequently. I have proved how valuable I can be in limiting runs in that phase of the game.” Chahar told the Times of India.

If not CSK, then RR: Deepak Chahar

“I think they will bid for me again. I would like to don the yellow jersey again and if not that, then I would want Rajasthan Royals to bid for me,” Chahar added.
