"Deepak Chahar is like a drug, if he is not there, you would think, where is he - if he is around, you would think, why he is here - good part is that he is maturing but he takes time and that is the problem, in my lifetime, I won't see him matured (smiles)," Dhoni said during the launch of Tamil film Lets Get Married, under his own production company called the Dhoni Entertainment.
During IPL 2023, Chahar claimed 13 wickets in 10 games and played a pivotal role in Dhoni-led Chennai's fifth IPL title. Talking about the skipper, Thala Dhoni marshalled his troops brilliantly, kept well behind the stumps and smacked as many as 10 sixes while playing several vital cameos throughout the season.
At present, Chahar is not part of India's squads for the upcoming West Indies tour, where the national side will play two Tests, three ODIs and five T20Is. Meanwhile, the 42-year-old Dhoni is busy with his non-cricketing assignments and not much his known whether he will return for IPL 2024. After leading his side to the IPL 2023 triumph, he stated that he will try to come back but nothing is official.
