India leg-spinner Rahul Chahar broke a 166-year-old record by grabbing eight wickets on his Surrey debut in county cricket.

His figures of 24-7-51-8 against Hampshire were the best figures by a debutant for Surrey, going past Willian Mudle’s mark of 7-61 set in 1859. Chahar’s match-haul of 10-118 helped Surrey defeat Hampshire by 20 runs and maintain their second spot in County Division 1 table. Chahar’s match figures are also the best of his first-class career, beating his previous best of 9-148, while the 8-51 was also his finest effort in an innings so far.
