Deepak Chahar, the Chennai Super Kings pacer, has been sidelined by a hamstring injury and is set to miss two weeks of action, head coach Stephen Fleming confirmed at the end of the match against Mumbai Indians on Saturday (April 28).

The 24-year old pacer pulled his hamstring while bowling his third over against Mumbai Indians in Match 27 of IPL 2018 in Pune. He left the field immediately and did not return for the rest of the game as CSK went on to lose by eight wickets.

"He has had hamstring injuries in the past, he has a pretty good idea when he is in trouble so it's probably a couple of weeks which is a bit of a blow," Fleming said during the post-match press conference.

Chahar has featured in all the seven games for CSK so far, picking up six wickets at an average of 23.17.
