Jab Rahul Chahar ne pichle saal Surrey ke liye apna debut kiya, toh usne sirf ek match nahi khela, usne ek Masterclass deliver ki. Ek hi match mein, unhone saabit kar diya ki woh sirf ek bowler nahi, balki ek out-and-out match-winner hain. Yaad hai na woh epic performance against Hampshire? Chahar ne sirf 10 wickets nahi liye, balki Surrey ko ek impossible lagne wali jeet bhi dila di. 8 for 51 ka woh spell, second innings mein, jab baaki bowlers struggle kar rahe the, Rahul ne Hampshire ki batting lineup ki kamar tod di thi. Isi Dominance ke dum par Surrey ne table mein second position secure ki thi, jo unke season ke liye crucial tha.
Ab good news yeh hai ki hamare desi leg-spinner Rahul Chahar wapas aa rahe hain! IPL 2026 mein Chennai Super Kings ke liye apna jalwa dikhane ke baad, woh seedhe London ki flight pakdenge.

Starting June 7, phir se Hampshire ke against The Oval mein – fate ka chakkar toh dekho!
Chahar ne khud apne excitement ko zahir karte hue kaha hai: "I'm so excited to be coming back to Surrey this season. I really enjoyed my short spell in 2025 and jumped at the opportunity to come back this season when I spoke to [director of cricket] Alec Stewart. Surrey is a successful club and I want to help the team achieve its goals in 2026." Toh samajh lo, yeh banda sirf khelne nahi, balki jeetne aur titles laane ke liye aata hai!
Surrey ke Director of Cricket, Alec Stewart bhi Rahul ki wapsi se extremely khush hain. Unhone kaha: "Rahul came in last year and did an excellent job at Hampshire, showing his qualities. We're looking forward to welcoming back to the group and seeing how he can contribute to winning games of cricket for Surrey."
