Overview
- Chahar posted a video on Instagram after three player-edition bats went missing from a practice ground, with multiple outlets reporting the theft occurred on Monday evening.
- He said the bats together are worth about Rs 1.5 lakh and described the thief as possibly unaware of the bats' value.
- In the clip Chahar asked followers for advice and jokingly weighed options such as contacting the police or senior leaders, while offering to pay or seek replacements from the bat brand.
- The video quickly went viral and prompted wide social-media reaction, but there has been no public confirmation that the bats have been recovered or that a formal investigation is under way.
- Chahar's international profile and the reported cost of player-edition equipment have focused attention on how teams secure specialised gear and the practical and financial impact when items are lost or stolen.
