Recovering from the injury, Deepak Chahar has recently given good news to the Indian cricket fans with the developments in his fitness. The 30-year-old has a bit of experience of close encounters in T20I cricket in his small but effective 20-match career in the shortest format of the game.

Speaking of his performance so far for the team India so far, Deepak has scalped 26 wickets in the 20 matches with an average of 22.26. He has also impressed the fans and cricket experts with his amazing outings in the Indian T20 League while playing for the MS Dhoni-led Chennai team.

T Natarajan

The 31-year-old star pacer from the South hasn’t got that many chances to feature at the international level for India. But in the limited opportunities, Natarajan has proved his worth to the team in crunch situations during any match. The Salem-born lad has scalped seven wickets in four-match he played so far in the T20 internationals.

Natarajan is not a part of the Indian for the last couple of months due to injury issues. But now as he got recovered from the injuries and started practicing with the ball, it’s a piece of good news for the Indian team that he might replace Jasprit Bumrah in the squad for the Asia Cup 2022.
