Chennai Super Kings Pacer Khaleel Ahmed was given to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru on May 3 in IPL 2025 during his party clash when he admitted 33 runs in the 19th place and in the first magic distributed stunning 65 runs. Khaleel was ruthlessly punished by the versatile RCB Romario Shepherd, who introduced CSK Pacer on Saturday to all corners of the Chinnaswama stadium.
At first the launch, the RCB of the dough experienced a mixed trip against the CSK bowling attack. The opening of Jacob Bethell and Virat Kohli led a powerplay attack and took over Khaleel, Matheesha Pathiran, Anshul Kartoj and even Sam Curran with aggression. The middle order – representing Devdutt Padikkal, Captain Rajat Patidar and Jitesh Sharma – could not be built at a strong start.
IPL 2025: RCB vs CSK: Update
It was the late entry of Romario Shepherd, which proved to be catastrophic for CSK, especially for Khaleel Ahmed. The fireworks of the West West turned the shifts to the head and brutally divided Khaleel.
Khaleel eventually admitted 65 runs from his 3 overs – the most pitch in the history of IPL. At the beginning of this season Rajasthan Royals Pacer Jofra Archer registered the most expensive spell of 76 runs In four overs against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Mathematically, however, Khaleel gave up more runs for more and in less breaks, which caused his most expensive spell in the record.
At 157/5 at 17.4 overs after the release of Patidar, a total of 200 Plus for RCB looked increasingly unlikely. Romari’s explosive batting, however, completely turned the script as the hosts climbed to 213/5 against CSK.
