Former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria was impressed with the way, Deepak Chahar took India home in the second ODI against Sri Lanka and wanted Pakistan to learn from him. The medium-pacer had the reputation of handy lower-order batsmen in the past, but this was more than that as Chahar formed a terrific unbeaten 84 partnership with Bhuvneshwar Kumar for the eighth wicket.
Sri Lanka had the game in their gasps for most of the time but their recent consistent run of losses didn’t help their cause and they managed to find a way to lose even from a winning position. However, it was some quality innings from Deepak Chahar and Bhuvneshwar played a good hand too.
Danish Kaneria Heaps Praise On Chahar and Bhuvneshwar
Danish Kaneria suggested Pakistan batsmen learn from Chahar’s innings and he explained how Chahar took the game deep by bringing the doubles into play in the long boundaries and also getting the rewards with some odd boundaries to ease the required run rate pressure. He was also impressed with Bhuveshwar Kumar’s mature knock and mentioned the 19 not out was like a half-century.
“Full credit to Deepak Chahar. Pakistan’s batsmen should learn from him. Deepak Chahar took the game till the very end. He stood at the wicket, rotated the strike smartly and picked up a the odd boundary here and there. Chahar had that key partnership with Bhuvneshwar Kumar at the end. Although Kumar only scored 19, it was as good as a 50 on the day.” Danish Kaneria told on his Youtube Channel
