“Chahar is out for at least eight weeks, which means he will miss half of IPL 2022,” the BCCI source told PTI.
The IPL 2022 starts on March 26 and CSK is still waiting for a final report from the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru where the pacer is recuperating.
Chahar was bought by CSK for a whopping Rs 14 crore, which is the second most expensive buy in this year’s IPL auction.
