Hailing from Agra, Uttar Pradesh, Chahal’s family moved to Ganganagar, Rajasthan when his father got recruited under the Indian Air Force. Chahal soon started playing divisional cricket in Rajasthan.

“I wanted to become a cricketer but my father didn’t allow me4. So when it came to my son, I wanted him to realize his dream which was my dream too. I had no formal coaching degree but I learned just to guide Deepak,” said Lokendrasingh, who used his savings to build two pitches — a turf and concrete in his native Agra where his son could train.
