Rahul Chahar impressed in the IPL for Mumbai Indians with 13 wickets.

India leg spinner Rahul Chahar is set to make his international debut in the third and final T20I against West Indies on Tuesday at the Providence Stadium in Guyana.

Rahul, 20, had an impressive Indian Premier League season with Mumbai Indians earlier this year playing a crucial role in the team's fourth title success. He claimed 13 wickets at an economy of just over 6.55 rpo.

He earned his maiden international call-up on the back of his performances for India A tour of West Indies last month. Rahul claimed six wickets in three outings as India-A won the series 4-1.

Rahul is the cousin of pace bowler Deepak Chahar, who made his international debut in both ODI and T20 cricket last year. Deepak will also line-up alongside Rahul against the Windies.

Carlos Brathwaite became Rahul's maiden international wicket when he holed out to long-on fielder. He conceded 27 runs from his three overs.
