One of the most handy Indian pacers, Deepak Chahar, celebrates his 33rd birthday on August 7, 2025. Over the years, the veteran pacer has made quite the mark on Indian cricket, especially in the IPL (Indian Premier League). A career that could have been filled to the brim with international trophies and several accolades, Chahar was unable to realise his full potential, despite doing quite well to his credit.
He has played a total of 38 matches for the Indian team across ODIs and T20Is and has taken 47 wickets to his name as well. However, it has been the IPL where Chahar has played some of his best cricket. Having represented multiple sides in the marquee event, Chahar’s most recent outing in the IPL came with five-time champions Mumbai Indians in 2025.
MI picked up Chahar for a whopping Rs 9.25 crore in the IPL mega auction. Playing a total of 14 matches for MI in 2025, Chahar finished the campaign with 11 wickets to his name.
IPL earnings and net worth
As per reports, Deepak Chahar’s net worth is estimated to be around Rs 66 crores; this includes his earnings from the domestic circuit and the IPL. It is worth noting that the 33-year-old is not in the list of players in the BCCI annual contracts.
After a successful season with MI, the five-time champions are expected to retain Chahar for Rs 9.25 crore ahead of the new season as well.
