5 India under-19 players to watch out for

#3 Rahul Chahar

Rahul Chahar celebrates after taking a wicket

Wrist spinner is always an asset to any team in the limited-overs format. The case is not different with the 18-year-old from Rajasthan. He is already a household name among the Indian fans as he was part of the Rising Pune Supergiant team in the tenth edition of the IPL.

He picked just two wickets in two matches at an average of over 8. To be fair, not every 17-year-old is someone like Washington Sundar to keep the World's best at bay. Even Washington got a decent run in the playing XI before calling the shots. Rahul was given just three matches and didn't bowl in one of them.

His save on the boundary line against Gujarat Lions was one of the moments of the tournament. Just like Himanshu Rana, he made his first-class debut at the age of 16 and has played a total of 10 games so far.

In the recently-concluded tour of England, Rahul picked up 10 wickets in four matches at an average of 15.2 and an economy of 4.18. He also picked six wickets in three matches when England toured India earlier this year.

Rahul will be very crucial for India in the middle overs when the team wants to choke the opposition's run flow and has the ability to chip in with few wickets.
