Fast bowler Deepak Chahar of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and India discussed the value of building strength and how it aids in quickening bowler's pace. Speaking at a CSK event, Chahar claimed that players lose strength while playing or completing their rehabilitation, so the off-season is the ideal time for them to heal. "You're not getting stronger when you're playing or in rehab. Your body's strength is diminishing. Therefore, now is the ideal time for me or any athlete to build strength because you only have one and a half or two months to do it. Strength increases the pace at which you move," Chahar was cited by ESPNcricinfo as saying.He continued by saying that a fast bowler loses pace because it becomes difficult for them to "do strength training" while they are playing nonstop.

Chahar went on to say that he has been bowling and., hitting well lately.

"So, yeah, I was almost bowling 140ks when I played in 2018." Playing frequently means you don't have time for strength training, and your speed decreases. It's appropriate for me to pick up the pace now. I've clearly been bowling and hitting well in terms of skill. Since you can only play three or four balls when you bat at No. 8 or No. 9, I'm also attempting to improve a few shots with the bat. Thus, you must make use of,Chahar debuted in the Indian Premier League (IPL) during the 2016 season. Since then, he has played in 73 games and claimed 72 wickets.

The 31-year-old made significant strides with the new ball for the Chennai-based team in the 2023 IPL, taking 13 wickets in 10 matches. Chahar has performed consistently for CSK over the last five years.
