The Chennai Super Kings are currently playing against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the ninth match of the IPL 2025 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Noor Ahmad has emerged as the hero for the Super Kings after he picked up three important wickets of RCB and limited the scoring rate of the team.

This is not the first time, Noor Ahmad impacted the first game against the Mumbai Indians in the same. There also he picked up four wickets and changed the momentum of the game. In this match against the Red and Golden Army, Noor Ahmad picked up three wickets for 46 runs in his four overs.

CSK Won The Bidding War Against Mumbai Indians

Notably, CSK secured the services of the Afghan spinner for ₹ 10 Cr. The bidding war for the left-arm wrist spinner was between the Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings. The Super Kings ultimately made the winning bid for ₹ 5 Cr.

In IPL 2023 and IPL 2024, Noor Ahmad was a part of the Gujarat Titans. As result the Titans got a chance to use the RTM on the spinner. However, CSK straightaway doubled the stake and asked for ₹10 Cr. The Titans were not ready to pay the sum for Noor and hence he became a part of the five time IPL champions for the 20256 season. 

Looking at the contribution that Noor Ahmad has made in the two matches, the Titans might be ruing their decision.
