Rahul Chahar Player Profile
Like many leggies who make an impact in T20, Rahul Chahar is not a big turner of the ball, but has good loop and drift, and makes subtle use of his variations in length and pace.
Like his cousin Deepak, Chahar plays for Rajasthan in the Ranji Trophy, for whom he made his first-class and List A debuts in 2016-17. Two seasons on, though the team had a dismal outing in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, Chahar was third on the wicket-takers' list for the tournament, with 20.
