Deepak Chahar- the star bowler of Chennai Super Kings- made ₹14 crores WITHOUT even playing the IPL 🏏

How ⁉️

Thread🧵

Every year,

The BCCI- the body that governs the IPL- generously insures all their players’ contracts & even pays the premium.

This is to ensure that if a player is injured & unable to continue, they don’t walk away empty-handed👐

Last year,

They bought an insurance cover worth ₹5000 crores for IPL ‼️

That's the largest cover ever for an Indian sporting event.

This includes everything:

Revenue losses due to unforeseen events, weather issues, riots, and yes, loss of players due to injury or illness.

And our all-rounder Deepak Chahar was brought in by Chennai Super Kings for ₹14 crores during the IPL auction

💸PS it also happened to be the most expensive signing in CSK history.

But here’s what happened👉

Chahar was ruled out for the entire season due to a major back injury.

Lucky for him,

The BCCI had him covered!!

And he recovered most (if not all) of the Rs 14 crore from insurance.
