After that has sidelined him from a few assignments, Chahar has set his sights on the T20 World Cup to be hosted in the USA and West Indies. Chahar missed India’s tour of South Africa in December and the home T20Is against Afghanistan. Chahar’s only chance to make the squad is through the IPL starting in March end. Chahar said while he did not get a lot of time to train apart from doing fitness-related work, he went to the NCA to work on his readiness. Chahar said he has extra motivation to push for his case for selection, given that he has missed the last two T20 World Cups due to injuries. Chahar credits MS Dhoni for harnessing his career and giving it longevity, but does not want the CSK captain’s impending retirement to hit the side anytime soon. Chahar said players thrive when the environment is good in the team, citing similarity between Ranji Trophy-winning side Rajasthan in 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons.
