Rahu is feared to be the most dangerous planet in a horoscope and it's Dasa is so dreaded that it instills and induces extreme fear among natives running it. It has destroyed many relationships and has literally crushed the confidence of people. But having said all this, Rahu can behave turbulently and can either make you reach the skies or literally pull you down to ground zero. When Rahu works well, the kind of success it can give is stratospheric and phenomenal. Usually Rahu is said to do well in the Upachaya (growth) houses especially 3rd, 6th and 11th.
I'm herewith listing the success stories of 3 of the greatest Indian batsman who achieved meteoric rise during their respective careers and the common Dasa which was running for them during the major period in which they achieved their cricketing laurels happened to be Rahu. All three of them happen to be world cup winners and have combined to score over 100 international centuries during their respective Rahu Dasa period.
The first name happens to be India's greatest test opener Sunil Gavaskar who was instrumental in winning test series abroad in England and West Indies and making India a force to reckon especially in the long form version of the game. He made his debut in Mar 1971 and retired in Mar 1987 and his entire career ran in tandem with Rahu Dasa (Dec 1970 to Dec 1988).
The second name is perhaps India's most loved cricketer of all time Sachin Tendulkar. Though the early part of his career was in Mars Dasa, it was during Rahu Dasa when his game trail blazed to an all together different level and he started accumulating centuries by the dozen. The pinnacle moment of his storied career was when he helped India lift the World Cup after 28 years. 1998 was the year when he shot himself to an elevated plane and which incidentally criss-crossed with the time Raha Dasa started. He debuted in Nov 1989 and retired in Nov 2013 and his Rahu Dasa ran from Apr 1997 to Apr 2015.
The third name is India's current cricketing sensation Virat Kohli, He was always known to be an up and coming talented cricketer but the levels he has reached in the last few years is nothing short of histrionic. His run scoring ability especially in the limited overs form of the game is tectonic and looks set to shatter more ODI records. He made his debut in Aug 2008 and his Rahu Dasa started running from July 2009 and will go on up to Jul 2027 when he may have already hang his boots. In this half period of Rahu itself, he has managed to make over 50 international centuries in his distinguished career.
Thus Rahu ain't all that bad when placed well and when it does perform, it can propel you to extreme heights that are totally unfathomable. Jai Ho Rahu!
P.S : I'm sharing the rasi charts alone of all these 3 cricketers along with some basic info. Ayanamsa used is BV Raman as it reflects the timing of events better however the planetary placements and ascendant remains the same even by using Lahiri or any other ayanamsa. Timing may be slightly off by a couple of minutes or so but the ascendant doesn't change.
