CSK fast bowler Khaleel Ahmed bowled his heart out against Punjab Kings in a high-scoring cracker at the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai. While the rest of his teammates conceded runs at more than nine-an-over, Ahmed restricted Punjab Kings’ to a certain extent and even picked up the important wickets of Priyansh Arya and Suryansh Shedge as CSK almost pulled off an unlikely win in the final over.

Moments after the match, the 27-year-old caught up with the family of Punjab Kings head coach Ricky Ponting. It is worth noting that both Khaleel Ahmed and Ponting spent time together as part of the Delhi Capitals franchise.

Khaleel Ahmed’s selfie with Ricky Ponting

Khaleel Ahmed met the children of Punjab Kings head coach Ricky Ponting after CSK’s narrow defeat in Chennai. The 27-year-old fast bowler was also accompanied by Ponting himself and his wife as the group took a heartwarming post-match selfie.


Khaleel Ahmed has so far been one of CSK’s premier fast bowlers amidst their dwindling IPL 2025 campaign. In 10 innings, the cricketer has managed to collect 14 wickets at an impressive bowling average of 22.57, and an economy of 8.85.

Moreover, Ahmed has also been largely effective with the new ball, considering the speedster has been constantly making early breakthroughs for his side.

Khaleel Ahmed along with the rest of his CSK teammates will now face the RCB franchise in match number 52 of the IPL 2025 season in Bengaluru on May 3.
