In his debut match with the Mumbai Indians, Deepak Chahar proved to be a valuable addition to the team. He contributed 28 runs from 15 balls in a challenging situation, helping the team reach a commendable score of 155/9.
Following this, he came in with the new ball and took the wicket of Rahul Tripathi. The circumstances of facing a team that had overlooked him, along with the pressure to perform, were apparent in his celebration after the wicket. His reaction showcased the intensity he was feeling at that moment.
Despite Deepak Chahar’s performance, the Mumbai Indians find themselves in a difficult position in the match. They require their other bowlers to rise to the occasion and make a significant effort to turn the game around and secure a victory against the Super Kings.
