“Deepak Chahar is made of glass” – Fans react as Indian seamer gets injured again in second ODI vs Bangladesh
Deepak Chahar’s battle with injuries doesn’t seem to end. The seamer apparently suffered a hamstring injury in the second ODI against Bangladesh on Wednesday, December 7. He bowled only three overs in the powerplay and couldn’t be used again for the remainder of the innings.
The Men in Blue bore the brunt of missing the services of their main strike bowler. Bangladesh all-rounder Mehidy Hasan (unbeaten 100 off 83 balls) and Mahmudullah (77) shared a record 148-run partnership for the seventh wicket to recover the hosts from 69-6. They scored 271/7 in their allotted 50 overs.
The Men in Blue need to deliver in a must-win game to avoid a series loss once again on Bangladesh soil after seven years (2015).
Fans on Twitter trolled Deepak Chahar for getting injured once again, while some slammed the BCCI.
Here are some of the best reactions:
I'm absolutely livid with dhoni. How could you even retain a guy who can't even take care of himself. Keeps getting injured every other month. 14cr for deepak chahar? I mean seriously? Madarchod CSK he will get injured again right before the start of the IPL next year

@SonySportsNetwk @why Indian Team carrying such loads like Deepak chahar??neither he is express bowler nor he had fitness..after 18balls he got injurd again..ban him for selection completely ..
Deepak Chahar should be no where close to Indian setup. CSK made a blunder to spend 14 cr on him.
@mufaddal_vohra If injury is an art.
Deepak chahar is the Picasso of it.
Deepak chahar is made of glass
For the uninitiated, Chahar first suffered a back injury in April, which ruled him out of the entire IPL 2022. He made his Team India comeback in ODIs during the tour of Zimbabwe in August. The Board of Control for India (BCCI) will hope he gets fit for the third ODI on Saturday, December 10.
It’s worth mentioning that Chahar went wicketless in the first ODI against Bangladesh (0/30), which India lost by one wicket.
So far, India have three players injured. Skipper Rohit Sharma suffered a finger injury and was rushed to the hospital for scans. Meanwhile, Kuldeep Sen complained of back stiffness following the first ODI and hasn't been a part of the playing XI in the second ODI.
Update: India Captain Rohit Sharma suffered a blow to his thumb while fielding in the 2nd ODI. The BCCI Medical Team assessed him. He has now gone for scans. https://t.co/LHysrbDiKw
Deepak Chahar retained by CSK
Meanwhile, Deepak Chahar has been retained by the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The seamer, who was signed for Rs. 14 crore at the mega auction in February, was ruled out of the previous season of the IPL due to injury. His absence hurt them throughout the season, as they finished ninth in the points table.
The CSK management would also hope that the 30-year-old gets fit as soon as possible.
