Deepak Chahar was adjudged the Man of the Match in the 8th match of IPL 2021 between Punjab Kings & Chennai Super Kings. Chahar picked up 4 wickets, giving away 13 runs in 4 overs. He also bowled a maiden over. After winning the award he said, " I think Mayank's wicket I enjoyed the most - a dream ball for a bowler to swing and hit top of off stump. You want to pitch it close to middle and then move to hit top of off. First over, when the catch went to Ruturaj, it was a quick one, only Jaddu could've taken that so I was like he should've been there. He's one of the best in the world, has taken so many catches off my bowling. I want 11 Jaddus on the field."

"Hopefully I can deliver in some more matches. As a bowler my plan is to bowl dots if I don't take wickets. The bowlers from the other end will also be able to take wickets."
