**Mumbai, India** – Deepak Chahar, the Indian pacer, has expressed his delight at joining the Mumbai Indians (MI) after being bought for a hefty Rs 9.25 crore in the recent IPL auction. Speaking exclusively to JioCinema, Chahar acknowledged his departure from Chennai Super Kings (CSK), stating, “I’m quite happy. I had hoped to continue with CSK, but no regrets.
