Chennai lost to Punjab on Wednesday

Chennai fell a bit behind in the play-off race after losing to Punjab on Wednesday. After the defeat, more danger awaited them. It is reported that Deepak Chahar’s injury condition is not good. He may also be knocked out of the IPL. Chahar could not play in two matches this season due to injury. He has a long history of injuries. But this injury came at a very bad time. Because the team’s pacer, Mathisha Pathirana, is injured. Another pacer Tushar Deshpande is suffering from flu. Chahar bowled only two balls on Wednesday. Shardul Thakur bowled the remaining balls.

After the match, coach Stephen Fleming said, “Chahar’s injury doesn’t feel good. In the beginning, he was in great pain. For now, I am hoping to hear positive things from the physios and doctors when they see the report.” In more bad news for Chennai, two Sri Lankan cricketers are returning home for T20 World Cup visa work. Pathirana and Mahish Thikshana will return home. But Fleming hopes to find them before the next match.

Mustafizur Rahman’s term has also ended. He will return to Bangladesh on the instructions of the board of that country. He has been called up for the series against Zimbabwe. Despite all this, the Chennai coach is not losing hope. Said, “We have the necessary cricketers in our team. Hopefully I can handle it in the next matches.”
