Khaleel Ahmed once again came good with the new ball when in today’s IPL 2025 encounter at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) took on Punjab Kings (PBKS).
Khaleel, who was picked at ₹ 4.8 crore this season, has already proved that he is an asset to the team. Before this ongoing match, in this ongoing season, Khaleel had already picked up four wickets in the powerplay, with an impressive strike rate of 16.5 and a great economy of 6.91. While he did not have a wicket in the middle overs (7-15), his economy rate of just 4.00 showcased his ability to choke runs and build pressure on the against team. At the death (overs 16-20), his efficiency is still a question which makes four wickets at a strike rate of 6.0, conceding runs at 10.00 an over.
Khaleel Ahmed has taken 10 wickets so far in five matches in the IPL 2025
In today’s match against Punjab, he took an early wicket in the form of the PBKS skipper, Shreyas Iyer with a sharp in-swinger. The ball disturbed Shreyas’s stumps and Khaleel was seen aggressively celebrating that dismissal. He has shown his aggression this season, even against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), while bowling to Virat Kohli. He was fully charged up and having a contest with the veteran batter.
Ultimately, in today’s game, Khaleel took two wickets for 45 runs in his four overs. In this season, he has now picked up 10 wickets in five matches and giving a tough competition in the race for the Purple Cap.
