Asia Cup | Deepak Chahar to replace injured Hardik Pandya in Asia Cup
Chennai Super Kings star Deepak Chahar will be traveling to Dubai as a direct replacement for Hardik Pandya, who suffered a lower back injury during yesterday’s game against Pakistan. Pandya will not be involved in the remainder of the tournament and will return home to undergo rehab.
It was a moment of fear and
The injury was so severe that the youngster had to be stretchered off the field as Manish Pandey stepped in to fill in the void. As per BCCI reports, it was later revealed that the Baroda-born player suffered from an acute lower back injury which also ruled him out of the remainder of the ongoing tournament in Dubai.
According to reports in HT, BCCI has called up Chennai Super Kings’ pacer Deepak Chahar as a replacement for Pandya for the rest of the competition. Chahar is known to be a clinical bowler and has come in handy with the bat in the lower order as well.
Pandya ended with figures of 4.5-0-24-0 after Babar Azam’s catch was dropped by Mahendra Singh Dhoni when the batsman was on 32. The Mumbai Indians’ player will return home and undergo rehab for the back injury. Time will tell if he is called up for the series against Australia later this year.
