5 Indian players who can replace Deepak Chahar for CSK if he is ruled out of IPL 2022

Arzan Nagwaswalla has had a phenomenal rise in domestic cricket. The left-arm pacer has an impressive 77 wickets in 21 First-Class matches and was expected to be sold at the IPL 2022 mega auction. However, he failed to draw a bid at the event. Nonetheless, Nagaswalla, who has been part of India's reserves in Tests, has a bright future ahead considering his talent and skills.

Veteran Indian pacer Ishant Sharma failed to draw a bid at the IPL 2022 mega auction after being released by Delhi Capitals. Ishant is one of the most experienced Indian fast bowlers available to be picked and can be a great replacement for Chahar at CSK. Despite the concerns over his age and fitness, Ishant's experience can be valuable for the MS Dhoni-led side.

In the last two IPL seasons, Dhawal Kulkarni managed to play only two matches for his former side Rajasthan Royals. However, he is one of the most experienced Indian pacers when it comes to the IPL and has been part of the league since the first edition in 2008. Kulkarni has 86 wickets in 92 IPL matches and can be a great replacement for Chahar for CSK.

Pankaj Jaiswal is an all-rounder from Himachal Pradesh, who has been impressive for his domestic side over the last few years. He is a medium pacer, who can prove to be handy with the bat in the lower middle-order. Jaiswal has played 32 First Class matches so far and has 70 wickets to his name. He has also notched up 583 runs at a strike rate of over 100. He was impressive for Himachal in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021 and picked up a four-wicket haul in the final against Tamil Nadu.
