Surrey’s pressure on the fourth straight regional championship will have an Indian flavor this week, and Spinner Rahul Chahar developed into the team in the Bowl Utility.
The 26 -year -old has been in Surrey’s books since the beginning of September, but has not been invited to recent accessories on the oval side. However, the door opened a number of injuries to the key spin options to first appear in the regional cricket.
“I’m excited to join Surrey for this week. I’m coming here to have an impact and help the team in their last match of the season.” Said Chhar.
“Adding Rahul to the team gives us another opportunity to spin in the Bowl utility … Originally we set aside to Sai Kishore to return to the last phases of the season, but unfortunately he has a finger injury, which meant he was inaccessible,” Surrey said Alec Stewart.
The Chhar, who throws his shop for Rajasthan in the home cricket, has 87 goals out of 24 first -class matches for his name, with the best haul 9 for 148. He last performed on the international scene between 2019 and 2021, in 2019 and 2021 he plays seven white balls for India.
Its integration comes at the decisive intersection for Surrey. Nottinghamshire’s narrow victory over Surrey at the beginning of this month left Alec Stewart’s 14 points upstairs. To retain his title, Surrey must beat Hampshire and hope that Warwickshire can deny notes too many points on Trent Bridge.
The Chhar, who adds spices to the competition, can find himself in a direct battle with Washington Sundar, Indian Allrounder, who recently signed Hampshire for the final phases of the competition.
Surrey originally intended to bring back R. Sai Kishhore after his successful stint earlier in the season, but the finger operation Spinner Tamil Nadu excluded him from the claim. As Jacks and Cam Steel are also postponing, Chahar arrives as an early solution for champion defenders.
The last round of the season begins on September 24, and Surrey’s hope of maintaining their dominance could partly consist in how quickly their latest recruit settles in English conditions.
