Star pacer Deepak Chahar, renowned for his role in the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) success, was snapped up by the Mumbai Indians for an impressive Rs 9.25 crore. Chahar’s shift to MI has left CSK fans shocked and emotional, as the bowler had become a symbol of consistency and reliability for the franchise. After going to Mumbai from Chennai, Deepak Chahar’s wife, Jaya Bhardwaj, took to Instagram to share an emotional post about her bond with CSK. The post accompanied photos featuring MS Dhoni, CSK players’ wives, and snapshots of Deepak Chahar’s wife in the iconic yellow jersey.
“From cheering in the stands to celebrating love on the field where I said ‘yes’ in front of the whole world,” the caption read. “My heart will always be tied to this team. Forever grateful for the wonderful memories.“
No regrets: Deepak Chahar on CSK not bidding for him
In a conversation with former CSK batter Suresh Raina, Chahar said that he had hoped to play for CSK more but has no regrets. He also said that the Wankhede track is better suited for him as compared to the Chepauk Stadium.
Although the pacer expressed a tinge of regret about leaving CSK following the move, his excitement for the new opportunity was evident. “I’m quite happy. I had hoped to continue with CSK, but no regrets,” Chahar said in an interview with JioCinema. “Now, I’ll be playing for another great franchise that has won five IPL trophies. I’ll obviously miss playing with MS Dhoni.
“This is going to be a very important season for me. My main goal is to play for India again. I’ve been training hard and playing regularly in domestic cricket to be at my best,” he added.
