	~~Rahul’s consistent domestic performance paved his way to international cricket.~~ In July 2019, he was ~~named in~~ India’s squad for the ~~T20I~~ series against the West Indies, ~~making~~ his debut on 6 August 2019.		In July 2019, Rahul earned his first call-up to the Indian senior team when he was selected for India’s Twenty20 International (T20I) squad for the series against the West Indies. This selection came as recognition of his consistent performances in domestic cricket and the IPL, where his controlled leg-spin and ability to bowl in pressure situations stood out. Rahul made his T20I debut on 6 August 2019, marking an important milestone as he joined the growing pool of young spinners representing India on the global stage.

He went on to make his ODI debut on 23 July 2021, displaying his skills in the 50-over format and further strengthening his credentials as a multi-format spinner capable of adapting to different conditions and match situations.

			Rahul Desraj Chahar (born 4 August 1999) is an Indian cricketer known for his leg-spin bowling. He represents Rajasthan in domestic cricket and plays for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He made his international debut for India in August 2019 and quickly became recognised for his variations, control, and composure under pressure.

			== Early Life and Personal Life ==

			Rahul was born into a Hindu Jat family to Desraj Singh Chahar and Usha Chahar. His paternal uncle, Lokendra Singh Chahar, who is also a cricket coach, played a significant role in training both Rahul and his cousin Deepak Chahar, an established Indian international cricketer. Inspired by Deepak, Rahul began playing cricket at the age of eight.

			Rahul initially trained as a fast bowler but later discovered his aptitude for leg spin, which soon became his primary skill. His family has strong ties to sports and entertainment—his cousin Malti Chahar is a Bollywood actress.

			Rahul got engaged to his long-time girlfriend Ishani in 2019, and the couple married in March 2022.

			== Domestic Career ==

			Rahul made his first-class debut for Rajasthan on 5 November 2016 in the Ranji Trophy. He went on to make his List A debut during the 2016–17 Vijay Hazare Trophy on 25 February 2017.

			His IPL journey began when Rising Pune Supergiant picked him up in the 2017 auction. He made his T20 debut soon after, on 8 April 2017. The following year, the Mumbai Indians acquired him in the 2018 IPL auction, where he delivered several impactful performances.

			Rahul emerged as Rajasthan’s leading wicket-taker in the 2018–19 Vijay Hazare Trophy, securing 20 wickets in nine matches. His domestic success earned him selections in India C for the Deodhar Trophy and India Green for the Duleep Trophy.

			In February 2022, he was signed by Punjab Kings for the IPL 2022 season before later joining Sunrisers Hyderabad.

			== International Career ==

			Rahul’s consistent domestic performance paved his way to international cricket. In July 2019, he was named in India’s squad for the T20I series against the West Indies, making his debut on 6 August 2019.

			In 2021, he was included as a standby player for India’s Test squad against England and was later added to the main squad ahead of the first Test. He made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka on 23 July 2021.

			Rahul was also selected in India’s squad for the 2021 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, marking another milestone in his growing international career.
