Indian seamer Deepak Chahar made headlines with a lighthearted birthday message for his wife, Jaya. The incident occurred when Chahar forgot his wife’s birthday but later scrambled to make it up to her with a heartfelt Instagram post.
Deepak Chahar’s Birthday Apology to Wife Jaya
Chahar, who is currently playing for Central Zone in the Duleep Trophy, took to Instagram on Saturday to wish his wife a happy birthday. In a candid post, he admitted his mistake of forgetting her special day. Chahar humorously justified his forgetfulness, blaming his long day in the field during the ongoing Duleep Trophy semifinals against West Zone.
“Happy birthday love,” Chahar wrote in his post’s caption. “I would like to tell everybody how understanding and loving my wife is as I forgot her birthday but still she forgave me as she understood this can happen after 90 overs of fielding.”
Chahar’s Duleep Trophy Journey and Wicket in First Innings
While Chahar was trying to make amends for his birthday oversight, his performance on the field was impressive. In the first innings of the Duleep Trophy semifinals, he took the wicket of Harvik Desai, helping his team to a solid position. However, Chahar spent a considerable amount of time in the field, which added to his justification for forgetting the special occasion.
Chahar has represented India in 13 ODIs and 25 T20Is, but injuries have affected his career. Despite the setbacks, he is now playing for Central Zone, with hopes of making it to the final of the Duleep Trophy.
A Memorable Proposal and Career Hopes
In 2021, Chahar proposed to Jaya in a memorable fashion. During an IPL match in Dubai, Chahar got down on one knee and asked Jaya to marry him. Chahar, who was playing for Chennai Super Kings at the time, took the advice of his captain, MS Dhoni, who encouraged him not to wait for the perfect moment. Dhoni urged him to follow his instincts and pop the question right away, even though the tournament was still ongoing.
Now, as Chahar looks to make up for his birthday blunder, he hopes to bring silverware to Central Zone, who currently have a first innings lead in their semifinal clash. The team is in a strong position to head to the final, and Chahar will be hoping to add another trophy to his collection, making up for the slip-up with his wife.
