Deepak Chahar

New Delhi, October 08: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) pacer Deepak Chahar proposes to his girlfriend in the stands after the match against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL).

The CSK pacer Deepak Chahar had an off day in the office as he conceded 48 runs in his quota of four overs. But after the match, he walked into the stand and proposed to his girlfriend and, by the reaction, it looked like she said ‘Yes.’

Chahar was seen placing the ring on his girlfriend’s finger and then hugging her in the viral videos that flocked the internet.

Punjab Kings rode on a solid KL Rahul knock and an all-around bowling effort to register a convincing 6-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings to keep playoff hopes technically alive. Chasing 135 for the win, Rahul remained unbeaten on 98 and single-handedly helped Punjab King’s gun down the target in the 13th over.

Earlier, Punjab Kings limited Chennai Super Kings to 134 for 6 despite Faf du Plessis’ 76 off 55 balls in their final IPL league match here on Thursday.

The CSK score was largely due to the fighting half-century by veteran South African player du Plessis and the 26 runs in the last two overs.

For Punjab, leggie Ravi Bishnoi was impressed in a spell of 4-0-25-1 which included the scalp of CSK captain MS Dhoni, while Arshdeep Singh (2/35) and Chris Jordan (2/20) did a good job for Punjab.

Du Plessis waged a lone battle, ensuring that the Punjab bowlers did not run away with the game with a hard-working half-century.

The 18th oversaw him hit two boundaries off Jordan’s third over as CSK continued the attempt to cobble up a respectable score.

The South African hit two more sixes, one-off Arshdeep and one-off Mohammad Shami in the final over to give a much-needed push to the CSK innings towards the end. Ravindra Jadeja remained not out on 15 (17 balls, 1 six).
