Cricket fraternity mein jab bhi kisi Indian talent ki overseas performance ki baat hoti hai, toh ek alag hi garv mehsoos hota hai. Pichle saal County Championship mein Surrey ke liye Rahul Chahar ne jo masterclass dikhayi thi, woh abhi bhi yaadon mein taazi hai. Aur ab, woh jald hi London ki flights pakad rahe hain, ussi team ke liye, jahaan unhone apne pehle hi match mein jaadu kar dikhaya tha!
The Inner Story: Chahar Ka Jaadu, Surrey Ki Vaapsi!
Yeh koi mamooli khabar nahi, yeh hai Indian cricket ke rising star Rahul Chahar ki grand return. Yaad hai, pichle September mein Surrey ke liye unka County Championship debut? Ek 10-wicket haul jismein Hampshire ko dhool chata di thi. 10 wickets for 118 runs, aur usmein se 8 for 51 toh second innings mein aaye the, bilkul game-changer performance. Usi performance ke dum par Surrey ne Hampshire ko 20 runs se haraya aur season ka second place finish secure kiya.
Ab yeh spinner, jo current IPL season mein Chennai Super Kings ke liye khelne ke baad, seedha London ki taraf udan bharega. Surrey ne official statement mein confirm kiya hai ki Chahar final eight Championship matches ke liye available rahenge, jiska aaghaaz June 7 ko The Oval mein Hampshire ke khilaaf hoga.
khud Rahul Chahar ne kaha, "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 Alec Stewart. Surrey is a successful club and I want to help the team achieve its goals in 2026." Aur Surrey ke Director of Cricket, Alec Stewart ne bhi unki tareef karte hue 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."
Surrey ne pehle half ke liye Sean Abbott ko apna main overseas signing banaya hai, lekin Chahar ki entry se unki bowling unit ko ek alag hi Dominance milegi.
