XtraTime Web Desk: Chennai Super Kings bowler Deepak Chahar on Wednesday tested negative in the first mandatory Covid-19 test. Following his tests coming negative, Chahar can now shift back to team hotel for quarantine facility. He will still have to undergo a cardiovascular test and if the results come negative, he will be allowed to join the training session. The entire process will take another 3-4 days.
With Chahar getting well, the CSK management will feel a lot relieved as the franchise do not boast of a strong bowling attack. The Chennai Super Kings bowling options are Shane Watson (hardly bowl now a days), Lungi Ngidi, Shardul Thakur, KM Asif and Monu Kumar.
