It is worth noting that Chahar was tipped to be included in the main squad after he made a succesful return to the Indian team during the Zimbabwe series. The selectors were in discussion to include him in the squad. But reportedly he has again injured himself and has returned back to India.
The doubts on his fitness was the reason that the selectors had picked Avesh Khan ahead of Chahar in India squad for Asia Cup squad.
Who is Kuldeep Sen? Kuldeep came into limelight via his performance for Rajasthan Royals during the IPL 2022. The fast bowler from Reva successfully defended 15 off the last over against Lucknow Super Giants in a thrilling last-over finish.
Kuldeep hails from Hariharpur in Madhya Pradesh’s Rewa district. His father Rampal Sen runs a small salon in the city. Kuldeep was initially spotted by local coaches.
Third of the five siblings, Kuldeep started playing cricket at the age of eight. Even the academy he played for waived his fees so that he could pursue his dreams.
In his debut season, he had scalped five wickets in an innings against Punjab and ended the season with 25 wickets.
In 16 first-class matches, Kuldeep has bagged 44 wickets, while he has four List A scalps in his kitty. In the T20s, he grabbed 12 wickets from 18 outings.
