Fri Oct 25 19:31:41 UTC 2024: In the semifinal match of the Emerging Teams Asia Cup on October 25, Rahul Chahar had a disastrous performance as a bowler. Key points include:

– **Match Overview**: India A faced Afghanistan A, with Afghanistan scoring 206 runs in their innings after winning the toss and opting to bat.
– **Poor Bowling Performance**: Chahar was notably the most expensive bowler, conceding 48 runs in just three overs, setting an unwanted record for India A in T20s. His economy rate of 16 runs per over is also the worst for the team.
– **Record-Breaking Concessions**: Chahar’s 48 runs are tied with Aaqib Khan, who also conceded the same number in the match, marking the joint-most runs given away by a bowler for India A. This match also witnessed Anshul Kamboj conceding 40 runs in three overs.
– **Bowlers’ Historical Context**: The previous record for runs conceded by Chahar was 38 runs in four overs against UAE, which has now been surpassed.
– **Significant Overs**: One particularly costly over for Chahar resulted in 31 runs being scored by Afghan openers Zubaid Akbari and Sediqullah Atal, who hit four sixes off him.
– **India A Bowling Lineup Changes**: India A made two changes to their lineup for this match.

Overall, Chahar’s performance stood out negatively in a challenging match for the bowling team.
