Stephen Fleming and Deepak Chahar
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) head coach Stephen Fleming admitted that seamer Deepak Chahar’s latest injury “doesn’t look good”, but he is hoping for a positive report from the franchise’s medical team ahead of the business phase of the IPL.
Although Fleming did not divulge any details on Chahar’s new injury, the 31-year-old seamer was seen pulling off his run-up in just the second ball of Punjab Kings chase here on Wednesday night.
It could be a possible hamstring injury as, after having a chat with skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad and the physio, Chahar walked off ground holding his hamstring and did not bowl further in the match.

Chahar’s career has been marred by injuries in the last couple of years, costing him a permanent spot in the Indian team. “Yeah, the travelogue is pretty busy. There’s a lot of ins and outs. So, Chahar doesn’t look good,” said Fleming.
“The initial feeling wasn’t great. So, I’m hoping for a more positive report when the physio and the doctor have a look.”
Chahar’s injury somewhat forced Gaikwad to bring in Shivam Dube for an over, who has mainly been used as a batter this season.
But Dube went for 14 in the only over he bowled, and Fleming admitted that with the Impact Player rule, Dube is not suited for the role in the IPL and will have his chances in proper conditions.
