"Ruining the career of such a talented player" - Fans react as Deepak Chahar fails to find place in India's squad for T20 World Cup

Deepak Chahar wasn't able to find a place in India's squad for the T20 World Cup, which was announced on Monday, September 12. The bowling all-rounder has been named as one of the standby players for the global T20 event.

Chahar was in the reserves even during the recently concluded Asia Cup 2022 in the UAE. However, he was added to the main squad during the Super 4 stage after Avesh Khan was ruled out due to illness.

Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel's return from respective injuries could have played a role in Chahar failing to make the cut for India's squad for the T20 World Cup.

Several fans took to social media to react to Chahar's exclusion from the 15-member squad. Here are some of the reactions:

@BCCI Very Bad, we need Deepak chahar and shami.
Pant and Harshdeep ko khilana jaruri nahi hain.

Deepak chahar batting bhi acha karta hain.

Shami ek acha experience player hain.

Again and Again same misteks.

@BCCI Deepak Chahar over Bhuvi is way too better option … can’t understand rationale behind supporting Bhuvi .. we have better swing bowlers warming the benches

@ICC If Bhuvi is only a PP specialist, replace him with Chahar. At least he can bat a bit. If India do go with 4 pacers in the XI, opposition will be mighty pleased as the tail will be long.

He is a great bowler.

Chahar has been impressive since returning from his injury last month. He bagged five wickets in two ODIs against Zimbabwe. He also bowled a tidy spell against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup, conceding just 28 runs from his full quota of four overs.
