Jasprit Bumrah was ruled out of the first T20I against South Africa, Deepak Chahar got the chance

Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah was not available for selection for the first T20 match against South Africa. Jasprit Bumrah did not play in this match due to back pain. However, nothing has been clarified about how Bumrah's injury is. Bumrah had recently recovered from his injury and got a chance to play in the second and third T20 matches against Australia, but once again his pain flared up and he was ruled out of the first match against South Africa. 

Deepak Chahar was included in India's playing XI due to the unavailability of Jasprit Bumrah. Deepak Chahar had earlier not played in a single match of the last T20 series against Australia. Although Deepak Chahar was not included in the 15-member Indian team selected for the T20 World Cup 2022, but he will go to Australia as a reserve player. This will be a great opportunity for Deepak Chahar. At the same time, Yuzvendra Chahal was rested in this match and R Ashwin got a chance because of him. 

Deepak Chahar bowled very well in this match and he took two wickets for 24 runs in 4 overs. In this match, he clean bowled captain Temba Bavuma on zero and showed the way to the pavilion. At the same time, Deepak Chahar took his second wicket in the form of Tistan Stubbs and dismissed him for a golden duck. Stubbs was caught by Arshdeep Singh off Chahar's ball. At the same time, Ashwin gave only 8 runs in 4 overs and also bowled a maiden over, although he did not get any wicket, but he was quite economical.
