"Mahi bhai has given me a lot of advice. The best advice was to believe in me. When I first played for CSK, the amount of confidence he gave me was reflected in my performance. He's the number one captain. If he believes in you, you have to believe in yourself. The belief I got from playing for CSK was massive. That changed my career. The belief and confidence Mahi bhai gave me were the best," Chahar said, reported by IANS.

"The graph will go up and down. For me, it went down for many years but still, I worked hard day and night. I always thought there is no alternative to hard work. If you work hard, the day and time will come and you'll play well. You'll get what you deserve. When you are small, it is important for you to imagine yourself as an international cricketer. You see posters on the wall. You should see your face in those pictures and that should make you work hard every session. You should see yourself there."

Chahar is set to return to India's limited-overs setup in the upcoming Asia Cup.
