“First and foremost, I’m happy that my team scored two points; it was significant. I’m pleased with the contribution I made today; both the batsmen and the bowlers performed well. It’s my first time in this franchise, but I haven’t felt alienated since I arrived; everything is laid back and doing well. It’s wonderful to be here. In an IPL video, Noor Ahmad said, “I think Surya’s wicket was the best today. That stump from MS was electric stuff, it was too fast, and it is my favourite.”

Khaleel Ahmed, a fast bowler from India, spoke about his first time wearing the yellow uniform. In the 2025 Indian Premier League season, Khaleel joined the Chennai Super Kings. Against the Mumbai Indians on Monday, he made his CSK debut.

He expressed his happiness at becoming a member of Chennai and claimed he had always wanted to play for CSK. He said that since Ms. Dhoni and the CSK management had trust in him, he wanted to prove himself. During the game, Khaleel claimed to have taken three wickets, with Rohit Sharma’s wicket being his favorite.

“I’m thrilled since CSK is a new club to me and I wanted to wear a yellow jersey. Winning your first game makes you feel great, and you want your IPL season to start off well. I wanted to prove myself since Mahi bhai and CSK had trust in me. I will love spending time with Mahi bhai both on and off the field, and I will pick up tips from him. In an IPL video, Khaleel Ahmed said, “Rohit Sharma is my favorite wicket. My plan was simple to take wickets in the powerplay. I initially went for swing but it was not there, so I was just bowling around the stumps.”
