Pace bowler Deepak Chahar, who looks certain to tour Sri Lanka with India's white ball squad in the proposed series in July, has credited Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni for helping him become a powerplay bowler.

"Mahi bhai has made me a powerplay bowler. He always says 'you are my powerplay bowler'. He, most of the time, gives me first over of the match. I have been scolded by him a lot, but I know those talks and that guidance has benefitted me a lot as well and helped me grow as a bowler," said Chahar while speaking to the Times of India.

Chahar bowled with the new ball for CSK in the postponed Indian Premier League and was among wickets in a couple matches. He took two four-wicket hauls and the fact that Dhoni allowed him to bowl his entire spell in one, initial spell helped him make use of his strength which is to move the ball.

He picked four wickets for 13 runs in four overs against Punjab Kings and then four for 29 against Kolkata Knight Riders.
