**Mumbai, India** – The Mumbai Indians (MI) have significantly bolstered their bowling attack, acquiring the highly-sought-after Deepak Chahar for a staggering INR 9.25 crore at the IPL 2023 mega auction. This marks a significant victory for the MI, who outbid several franchises, including Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings, in a fierce bidding war.

The acquisition of Chahar follows the earlier signings of Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult, creating what MI describes as a “deadly” bowling lineup. Chahar, known for his exceptional right-arm swing bowling, expressed his excitement about joining the franchise, citing the favorable Mumbai conditions for his style of play. He joins his younger brother, Rahul Chahar, already a member of the Mumbai Indians.

The team’s management expressed unwavering commitment to securing Chahar, consistently raising their bid throughout the auction process. This strategic move is expected to further enhance MI’s chances in the upcoming IPL season, promising exciting matches at the Wankhede Stadium in April and May.
