IPL 2022: Performance of the most expensive buy of each team

2. Chennai Super Kings – Deepak Chahar (INR 14 crore)

Like their arch-rivals Mumbai, Chennai Super Kings also decided against retaining their marquee bowler. But they secured the services of the star swing bowler for a whopping INR 14 crore at the auction. 

Deepak Chahar‘s ability to swing the ball both ways at the start of the innings has been the pacer’s most potent weapon. But in the last couple of years, he has adapted himself to bowl in the death overs and has shown impressive control and accuracy. The 29-year-old is no mug with the bat either, as he has two half-centuries to his name in ODIs for India.

The right-arm quick suffered a quadricep injury in the third T20I against West Indies and was due to miss the early stages of IPL 2022. But he suffered another injury during his recovery and was ruled out for this year’s tournament completely. CSK suffered heavily due to the absence of their star bowler as they finished the tournament with just four wins to their name.
