Talking a bit about Deepak Chahar, then he is on the list of standbys for the upcoming 20-20 World Cup. He had to fly back to the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru from Lucknow after complaining of an injury of ankle twist before the first match against the South Africans.

Currently, the men in blue are in action during the ongoing three-match ODI series against South Africa. The management has named a second-string under the captaincy of senior batter Shikhar Dhawan for this series as the main team of India has fled to Australia for the marquee tournament. Rohit’s men will begin their campaign against the arch-rivals on the 23^rd of October.

Earlier, India won two consecutive T20I series against Australia and South Africa respectively before going to the major international tournament. Although, India had to go through a very tough journey in the Asia Cup 2022 as they were ruled out of the Group stage in the tournament.
