Chennai Super Kings fast bowler Deepak Chahar could be out of action for at least two weeks with a hamstring strain sustained during Sunday's match against Mumbai Indians in Pune.

Chahar pulled up injured after bowling the first ball of his third over. He left the field after that delivery and did not return for rest of the match. Super Kings coach Stephen Fleming confirmed the injury during his post-match press conference. "He (Chahar) has had hamstring injuries in the past, he has a pretty good idea when he is in trouble," Fleming said. "Conservatively, it's probably a couple of weeks, which is a bit of a blow."

Fleming also confirmed that Lungi Ngidi, who had flown back to South Africa following the death of his father, has rejoined the squad.

Think Lungi will get matches.  Faster than Deepak as well and has some international experience in T20i,  tests and ODIs  too.The only concern is whether he will adjust the line and length for Indian wickets.

Ngidi's Father died on 14 April. Don't know whether he has returned ir not

Who will play in the XI in Chahar’s place - Willey / Wood / Ngidi / Asif?

chahar was a swing bowler , whose role was to get wkts in early overs . So willey can do that job

 

But willey can come in for tahir and karn for chahar, since willey can tonk the ball as well they can throw jadeja out n add asif

Lungi might still not make the playing 11 because if he was abroad he has obviously missed practice sessions etc with team. Maybe they will opt for someone like Willey if they want someone more involved in practice sessions. The international options as well as local options are there, so nothing to worry for CSK. Squad of 26 so no problems with replacements.
