SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) leg-spinner Rahul Chahar revealed an interesting story about his tattoo after joining the team camp ahead of IPL 2025. Several players like Chahar, Harshal Patel, Abhinav Manohar, among others, recently linked up with the franchise to commence preparations for the upcoming season.

SRH took to their official X (formerly Twitter) handle and shared a video to give the interesting back story of Rahul Chahar's eagle tattoo on his hand. The leg-spinner revealed that he got the tattoo after the conclusion of the last season of IPL, and he was later picked up by the Hyderabad team at the mega auction. Rahul Chahar said:

"So, I made this tattoo after the last IPL. It's an eagle. SRH also has the same. So, maybe it was meant to happen."
