However, CSK still has as many as 5 wins from 8 matches this season.

CSK vs PBKS: Why is Deepak Chahar Not Playing Today’s IPL 2023 Match?

Unfortunately, the Chennai Super Kings will once again be without their premier new ball fast bowler Deepak Chahar in the CSK playing 11 for the CSK vs PBKS match on Sunday. After missing the entire IPL 2022 season due to injury, the Indian pacer once again pulled off his hamstring during the match against Mumbai Indians and has been out of action in the last 5 games of IPL 2023 for the Chennai Super Kings. Although, the 30-year-old cricketer has started bowling in the nets, he is still recovering from the injury and is expected to make his return into the CSK playing XI during the first or second week of May. During the ongoing IPL 2023 season, Deepak Chahar’s bowling performance for CSK has been lacklustre. Despite participating in three matches, he failed to take any wickets, and his economy rate was over 10 runs per over.
