Chennai’s premier fast bowler, Deepak Chahar was ruled out of the Indian T20 League 2022 due to a back injury. Chennai missed his services badly as they failed to reach the playoffs this year. The franchise only managed to win 4 games and finished at second from the bottom of the ladder. The Indian fast bowler isn’t going to recover soon and he is likely to miss out the upcoming international assignments as well.
However, there’s some more good news for the fans as Deepak Chahar is all set to tie the knot with his fiancée Jaya Bhardwaj on 1st June 2022. Neither of them has updated the fans about the wedding but a picture of an invitation card has been doing the rounds on the social media.
Last year, a video had gone viral after Chennai vs Punjab game in the Indian T20 League, in which Deepak Chahar was seen proposing to his long-time girlfriend Jaya Bhardwaj. He wanted to propose her during the playoff stage but MS Dhoni advised him to do it during the league stage itself.
She said yesssss.! 💍

Chahar made a huge impact with the ball for the franchise last year and helped them clinch the title for the fourth time in the league’s history. Interestingly, he wasn’t retained by the franchise prior to the Mega Auction, however, he was later bought by Chennai for a whopping amount of INR 14 crore at the Indian T20 League Mega Auction.
