Young Chennai Super Kings pacer Deepak Chahar has been ruled out of the IPL 2018 action for a period of two weeks due to a hamstring injury. Head coach, Stephen Fleming confirmed the injury after the match against Mumbai Indians, in which Chahar couldn’t complete his quota of four overs.

The Rajasthan pacer, who has been on a red-hot form this season, pulled up an injury after bowling the first ball of his third over and left the field after that delivery. He couldn't bowl a single ball after that for rest of the match and Fleming confirmed the injury during his post-match press conference.

"He (Chahar) has had hamstring injuries in the past, he has a pretty good idea when he is in trouble," Fleming said. "Conservatively, it's probably a couple of weeks, which is a bit of a blow."

Chahar has played in all seven CSK matches so far this season and has picked six wickets at an average of 25.50, including a match-winning 3 for 15 against Sunrisers Hyderabad. He is also one of only two Super Kings bowlers with an economy rate of less than eight an over.

While announcing Chahar's injury concerns, Fleming also confirmed that Lungi Ngidi, who had flown back to South Africa following the death of his father, has rejoined the squad.
