In a dramatic turn of events during Match 53 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 in Dharamsala on Sunday (May 5), Rahul Chahar, the leg-spinner for Punjab Kings (PBKS), showcased his prowess by claiming two wickets in successive deliveries in a single over against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Opting to field first after winning the toss, Punjab’s decision bore fruit when their spinners took charge after the powerplay.

A double strike by Rahul Chahar

Despite a solid partnership between Ruturaj Gaikwad and Daryl Mitchell, Chahar’s entry in the eighth over shifted the momentum in Punjab’s favour. Facing Chahar’s first delivery, Gaikwad struggled to negotiate a length delivery outside off, resulting in a nick to the wicketkeeper. This sharp catch by Jitesh Sharma marked the end of Gaikwad’s innings. Immediately after, Chahar had the explosive Shivam Dube in his sights. Dube, who had previously succumbed to a golden duck in the last match, suffered a similar fate as he attempted to cut a wrong’un to the off-side. However, he only managed to edge the ball to the wicketkeeper, resulting in another golden duck.

Nearly a hat-trick

Chahar’s exceptional over came tantalizingly close to a hat-trick, as Moeen Ali’s attempt to tackle the wrong’un resulted in a faint touch off the bat’s toe end. Despite Chahar’s dive in anticipation, he narrowly missed out on claiming a return catch and securing a third wicket in the over. Following this near-miss, Chahar remained undeterred, subsequently dismissing Mitchell Santner. His final figures stood at an impressive 3/25 from his allotted four overs. For CSK all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja shown ?some late fight as he played a important knock of 43 in just 26 balls and took the score to 167/9.

He has an economy rate of 6.83 in the middle-overs?? (7-16)?? since IPL 2023 �?the third best among spinners who have bowled a minimum of 40 overs in this phase since last season.

Only Sunil Narine (6.81) and Krunal Pandya (6.68) have�?/p>

Harpreet Brar has to be one of the, if not the best left arm spinner in T20s in India. No wonder nobody talks about his India prospects but he has definitely bowled with a big heart against the big hitters in the last two-three seasons #PBKSvsCSK

In a jaw-dropping encounter in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Punjab Kings (PBKS) etched their name in history books by pulling off an extraordinary chase against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the iconic Eden Gardens on Saturday. Despite a rocky start to the season, Jonny Bairstow emerged as the hero with a scintillating 108 off just 48 balls, propelling PBKS to a mammoth total of 262 runs, the highest-ever successful chase in IPL history. PBKS achieved this staggering target wit??h 8 wickets in hand and an astonishing 8 balls to spare, se?nding shockwaves through the cricketing world.

Controversey at the Eden Gardens

While the match unfolded with breathtaking moments, it was not short of drama. Even amidst KKR’s anguish, their mentor Gautam Gambhir mostly maintained composure, until a controversial moment shook his calm demeanor. In the 14th over, PBKS spinner Rahul Chahar delivered a teasing short ball outside off, luring Andre Russell into a cut through cover. However, Ashutosh Sharma‘s remarkable dive halted Russell’s shot, followed by a swift return to the keeper’s end. Despite Russell capitalizing on an overthrow for an additional run, the on-field umpires, much to KKR’s dismay, deemed the over concluded, denying them the extra run.

Gautam Gambhir’s fierce exchange

This contentious decision ignited a heated exchange, with Gambhir, joined by KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer, engaging in a fierce argument with the fourth umpire. Gambhir’s frustration was palpable as he passionately contested the decision, reminiscent of a similar incident in KKR’s previous clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), which also saw him embroil??ed in a dispute over an umpiring call.

Jonny Bairstow’s brilliance

Nevertheless, despite the controversy, PBKS emerged triumphant on the back of a sensational batting spectacle. Bairstow’s unbeaten century stole the spotlight, supported by Prabhsimran Singh‘s explosive innings at the top. Later contributions from Rilee Rossouw and Shashank Singh, particularly his prowess in hitting sixes, bolstered PBKS’s charge, registering their first victory of the season after five hard-fought games.

India A are currently playing their first unofficial Test match against South Africa A in Man??gaung Oval at Bloemfontein. They were ?scheduled to play three four-day matches in South Africa from November 23 to December 9.

Leg-spinner Rahul Chahar is a part of the touring party and he recently took to Instagram to share his reaction after getting a good tea in South Africa. Fast bowler Navdeep Saini and all-rounder Saurabh Kumar also featured in the video shared by their teamma?te.

The trio seemed impressed with the tea served to t??hem in South Africa. They left netizens in splits with their hilarious reaction.

�?em>Our reaction when we get good chai in South Africa,”�?Chahar captioned his post.

Rahul was picked for Team India in place of Yuzvendra Chahal in the recently concluded T20 World Cup in UAE. However, Rahul was benched for most of the matches in the multi-nation tournament. He only played in India’s final Super 12 fixture against Namibia, where he went wicket-less and conceded 30 ??runs in his quota of four overs.

However, Rahul was ruled out from the squad for the subsequent New Zealand home series. Instead, he was drafted into India A squad for a shado?w series (unofficial Test) against South Africa A.

South Africa A dominated on Day 1 in the unofficial Test match against India A

South African batters put up a strong display on the opening day of the contest after being asked to bat first. The opener Sarel Erwee was dismissed early by Saini, but captain Pieter Malan steadied the ship with his unbeaten 157. Tony de Zorzi also batted brilliantly and scored 117 runs before being sent back by speedster Umran Malik.

Furthermore, Jason Smith smashed a half-century and did not allow? the Indian bowlers to turn things around in the fin?al session of the day. The Proteas have scored 343/3 in 90 overs with Malan and Jason still on the crease.

For India, Arzan Nagaswalla, Umran and Navdeep picked up a wicket each. On the other hand, Rahul, Krishnappa Gowtham and Baba Aparajith remained wicketless on Day 1.

Cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar has raised questions on Team India’s squad for the upcoming T20I series against New Zealand. On Wednesday, the Board of Contro??l for Cricket in India? (BCCI) announced a 16-man squad led by Rohit Sharma with a few notable exclusions.

While senior batter Virat Kohli, frontline pacer Jasprit Bumrah, fast bowler Mohammed Shami and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja were rested from the T20I series, the likes of Hardik Pandya, Varun Chakravarthy, Rahul Chahar and Shardul Thakur were dropped?? from the squad despite having been a part of the T20 World Cup in the UAE.

Gavaska?r questioned the exclu?sion of both Chahar and Chakravarthy from Indian outfit for the New Zealand series, starting from November 17.

Gavaskar said Chahar didn’t get many opportunities since he only played one game and must be wondering what he did wrong to get ignored.

Notably, Chahar only played one game for India in the multi-team?? ??tournament against Namibia, wher??e he conceded 30 runs in his quota of 4 over??s.

“Rahul Chahar will be wondering what he has done that he is not in the 16 that have been announced for the New Zealand series. He was good enough to be in the World Cup squad, he got one opportunity, gave away 7 and a half runs an over. He will certainly be wondering what he did wrong. And I hope the selection committee will actually tell him what he did is the reason that he is out of the squad,” Gavaskar told India Today.

The cricketer-turned-commentator spoke about Chakravarthy, who played three games in T20 World Cup 2021 and still wasn’t picked for the three-match leg against the Black Caps. Gavaskar said the Tamil Nadu spinner must be told the reason for his exclusion unless he has been sidelined due to fitness concerns.

“Even Varun Chakravarthy needs to be told why he was not picked in the squad. Unless, of course, he is not fit, which we don’t know about, then he must be told. Only if somebody tells them the reason they can go back and get better and then come back stronger. That will be the only way Indian cricket will get stronger,” Gavaskar added.
