Where is the hype for Deepak Chahar?  

 

Exactly. He was never hyped like Rahul Chahar.  He was always considered as back up bowler. The way Dhoni uses him is giving him 3 overs on the trot with  field set on one side. Typically he would bowl at normal pace for the first 3 overs. Today he started using slower ones right away.

Yes. As an overarll package he will still do better than Shami in the long run.

[Lord]

he has to reduce dependence on swing as a bowler.

Chahar is inconsistent and relies on conditions even in his best format. He wouldn't be even as good in ODI's. While Shami has one of the best strikes in ODI history.

 

Don't think he is a long term ODI option, can play cameos but there's a gulf between him and Bhuvi as bowlers, let alone Shami.

Not ODI.  Just T20 where the difference between good bowlers and bad bowlers is not that high.
