Speaking with the media about his performance in the post-match press conference, Deepak Chahar said, “If you get 3-4 wickets of the opposition early, then it is difficult for any team to win the game from there. Batters have to play extra-ordinary innings from there to set an extra-ordinary target.

The CSK star went on to speak about his making a comeback to the national team set up as well as his fitness following his return after nearly six months. He shared, “Every time you make a comeback, it is important for any player to score runs, and take wickets. I was out with an injury for almost six months so I was looking for an opportunity to come and perform.”
