Notably, he is a part of the India A side that played against South Africa A in a 4-day game at Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein as well.
On the last delivery of the 128th over of South Africa A’s innings, Rahul Chahar, who was bowling from round the wicket, hit the batsman Sinethemba Qeshile on the pads and appealed for a huge LBW as well. But the umpire turned down the appeal and also suggested that the ball had pitched outside leg also.
