Deepak Chahar of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) said that he was never a ‘naturally talented’ swing bowler and that he worked hard to learn how to swing the ball both ways.
Chahar revealed that his father used to help him bowl up to 500 balls every day in order to perfect his swing and accuracy. He feels that starting practice at a young age is the key to success.
Deepak Chahar spoke on the show ‘Breakfast with Champions’ on the necessity of practice, using Suryakumar Yadav’s unconventional strokes as an example:

Deepak Chahar also commended his father for forcing him to play with older players so that he could be exposed to more tough situations and adjust properly. He believes it helps him do rather well against players in his own age group.
Chahar remarked on this:
Chahar has been a huge asset to both India and CSK when he has been fit.
