The 28-year old narrated an incident when his father went for an eye-treatment in Chennai 5-6 months ago. When asked whether they knew Deepak Chahar, a lot of people revealed to know the cricketer, which Deepak conceded is a massive thing for him. Chennai’s squad went to the Chepauk Stadium for a training camp ahead of the forthcoming edition of the IPL in the UAE. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the fans would not get to see the players playing in India.

My father came 5-6 months ago for eye treatment. He was telling me that he asked everyone, ‘Do you know Deepak Chahar?’ He wanted to know how many people in Chennai know his son. Everyone knew me! And that is a very big thing for me. Wherever we go, people give us love,” he added.
