He recently scored the highest individual score by an Indian batter in T20Is as he played a scintillating innings of 126* off 63 balls against New Zealand.

Deepak Chahar:

The right-arm seamer missed the entire 2022 season due to an injury and will be eager to stage an emphatic comeback in the upcoming season. Chahar will look to find some swing with the new ball and pick crucial wickets for his side in the powerplay.
