An Interview With India’s Greatest-Ever One Day International Cricket Player, Deepak Chahar
An Interview With India’s Greatest-Ever One Day International Cricket Player, Deepak Chahar: Deepak Chahar admitted he was nervous about a comeback that had been postponed for so long by injury, but then it turned out to be an easy day in the field. The pacer snared three wickets, which put his team on their way to victory.
Deepak Chahar looked like he had never left on his team India return after a quick start to the first one-day international against Zimbabwe, earning the Man of the Match honor with a brilliant new ball performance. Deepak got three wickets in an opening burst of seven overs with the new ball, swinging it in all directions.
India’s innings score of 184 and 10 wickets later were thanks to two hundreds by Shubman Gill and a fifty from Shikhar Dhawan.
In February, Chahar was in form playing for India and then sustained an injury. He was unable to play professionally from that point on because of his performance and his fear of not performing well. Chahar admitted to feeling the pressure when he had nerves during the game.
In international cricket, promoting a competitive frame of mind leads to success as Virat Kohli has discovered. The current Indian team captain was quoted saying that training for international games takes mental effort in six and a half months.
Despite a successful career, the pacer cited foot grip as one of the reasons for his struggles in bowling. Chahar’s shoes were constantly falling off while landing on the crease and felt that this impacted his performance. Chahar’s landing area was hard, which discouraged him from targeting bouncers and he struggled to pierce spikes into the surface of the ball.
The first ODI against Zimbabwe was an important one for India, as they looked to make a statement after their long layoff. Though the match ended in a disappointing manner, Deepak Chahar believes that it was good to get back into international cricket and perform under pressure. He also praised the team’s effort and said that there is still room for improvement before the next game against Sri Lanka.
