Playing in his first competitive game in nearly seven months, Deepak Chahar was understandably taking time to find his rhythm. But he was quick in getting his lengths right and sowing seeds of doubt in the minds of the opening batters.
“The landing area was a little hard and my nails were not going in and were slipping. When you are playing an international game after six and a half months, you are always nervous. Before coming here I played four-five practice games,” said Chahar after picking the Player of the Match award in India’s 10-wicket win.
In seven uninterrupted overs, Chahar exhibited signs of him slowly getting back to his best, which is good news for India ahead of assignments like the Asia Cup, where he is in the reserves and the Men’s T20 World Cup.
“But playing for the country, you wanted to do well and the mind and body, as well as mind, was not working together. That ball I wanted to bowl a bouncer and the spikes didn’t go through and I slipped. But it got better after that. I’m fine and the body is fine as well,” added Chahar.
