Indian fast bowler Deepak Chahar was recently at the receiving end of trolls online. Although it was not related to a performance on the field, nor for any incident off the field. The Chennai Super Kings pacer is actually aged 28, but an error by encyclopedia website Wikipedia showed his age as 48.
A certain dear one to Deepak Chahar, none other than his sister Malti, saw the funny side of this and went on to post her reaction of the same on Twitter. As she shared a screenshot of Deepak Chahar's Wikipedia page which showed him born in 1972 and aged 48. Malti Chahar then went on to humorously add that Deepak was older to her finally and also admitted that he is the 'fittest player at age 48. Malti wrote, "Thanks to Wikipedia...finally Deepak is elder to me. Fittest player at 48."
