The World Cup has been ended a few days back. After that, India and Australia met again in a five-match T20 series. The majority of the senior players are in the rest and youngsters are playing this series against the Aussies. Deepak Chahar is one of them. Recently, he opened up about his desire to play test matches for India.
Deepak Chahar’s Words:
After a long time, Deepak Chahar came back to the Indian squad. He was named to the team for the final two T20 matches against Australia. Deepak Chahar played a few white-ball matches for India but has not been a part of India’s test side. According to him, he is eagerly waiting to play for India. He believes that he has the potential to play test cricket for India.
On this matter, he said, “ There is preparation involved in everything we do. If you look at it, my preparation was good for the Ranji Trophy and also for the IPL (last Season). I will not be able to play a test match if I am suddenly informed that I’ll play a test. For that matter, no one else probably can,”
Then he added, “If I am told one month in advance, then I’ll prepare accordingly. I will increase my workload accordingly. I have the swing; I have the Ideas; it’s just that I’ll need a month to prepare. I would love to play Test for India.”
