Born on August 7, 1992, in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, Deepak Chahar is a premier right-arm medium-fast bowler celebrated for his elite ability to swing the new ball both ways. He became a household name during his highly successful tenure with Chennai Super Kings (2018–2024), where he spearheaded the attack under MS Dhoni, playing a pivotal role in three title-winning campaigns (2018, 2021, and 2023). In a major shift at the 2025 Mega Auction, Mumbai Indians secured Chahar for whopping INR 9.25 Crore. He made an immediate impact in his debut season for MI, featuring in 14 matches and claiming 11 wickets while providing crucial early breakthroughs. His consistency with both bat and ball and big-match temperament led to his retention for the 2026 season. With 77 career IPL wickets to his name, Chahar’s experience is invaluable. As MI hunts for their record-extending 6th title, his lethal combination with Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult creates a terrifying trio of pace, swing, and precision that is arguably the most dangerous bowling unit in the league.
