Indian speedster Deepak Chahar is on the gaining end of the criticism and trolls from cricket fans on the social media platform, Twitter. It all started when he was ruled out of the second of the three-match ODI series against Bangladesh as he pulled his hamstring. Due to the severity of the muscle pull, Chahar couldn’t make himself available to bowl after completing the three overs of his spell.
Later on, he came to bat and fell prey to Bangla pacer Ebadot Hossain on an individual score of 11 runs off 18 with only six to his name.
Although Indian cricket fans were in angst over the 30-year-old pacer. They took to Twitter to lash out at him as some of the fans advised him to join NCA and leave international cricket for a time being.
Here’s how fans reacted:

Question is whether some of these players in their bid to make quick return are doing their rehab properly or not? https://t.co/gy04yNneF3

"Play one match, get injured, head to NCA, Repeat." That's what Indian players do all year round except for the IPL months.

Keep him in NCA only,no need such players. Always keep getting injured without giving substantial contribution.

Deepak chahar should be asked to bowl atleast 40-50 overs in domestic before allowing him to play international cricket. Very fragile fitness he has..

Bhai ek room pakka he rakhdo deepak bhai. I love him as a cricketer but he’s so fragile. Learn from Virat Kohli.

Apart from the fans, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma also talked about the injury concerns of the Indian team. Rohit also came up with a crystal-clear reply regarding the same and gave a cut-to-cut reply.
“There are a few injury concerns, we need to get to the bottom of this. Need to try and monitor them, because it's important to understand this. When they come to play for India, they need to be at more than 100 percent. We need to monitor their workload because we can't have guys coming in to play for the country half-fit,” said Rohit Sharma during the post-match presentation in the aftermath of India’s defeat against Bangladesh in the second ODI.
Now, both teams will lock horns in the third ODI of the series on the 10th of December at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram.
Coming back to Deepak Chahar, he has been ruled out of the third and last of the three-match ODI series against Bangladesh due to an injury.
