Rahul Chahar: The Tactical Spin Master A specialist in the shortest format, Rahul Chahar is known for his aggressive leg-spin and quick, skiddy deliveries that often catch batters off-guard. A two-time IPL champion with Mumbai Indians, Chahar has consistently proven his worth as a partnership-breaker in the middle overs. His international experience with the Indian team in both ODIs and T20Is has further refined his tactical approach to the game. Joining the Chennai Super Kings for the 2026 season, Chahar’s mastery over his craft—particularly his disguised googly—is set to bolster the squad’s spin department at the historic Chepauk stadium.
