Khaleel Ahmed has been one of the go-to bowlers for CSK in IPL 2025, but the game against RCB turned out to be a nightmare for the pacer. He was smashed for 65 runs in just three overs, which included a massive 33-run over.

It is the most runs given by a CSK bowler in an over in IPL history, surpassing Lungi Ngidi who gave away 30 runs against RR in IPL 2020. Sam Curran is also in that list as he was plundered for 30 runs while playing for CSK against KKR in IPL 2021. Dwayne Bravo follows them with 29 runs conceded against MI in IPL 2019.

Khaleel Ahmed also ended up bowling the most expensive spell by a CSK bowler, again surpassing Lungi Ngidi who gave away 62 runs in 2021. In this game, Khaleel Ahmed was smashed for two consecutive sixes in the powerplay by Virat Kohli, and had figures of two overs for 32 runs before his 19th over.

RCB's score was 159 at the start of that penultimate over. Shepherd smashed two consecutive sixes to start off the over and then followed it up with a four. He slammed two huge sixes on the next two balls, with the second one being a no-ball. The free hit was a dot, but the final ball was again hit for a boundary. The over went for 33 runs and the next over also went for 21 runs as Shepherd smashed fifty to take RCB to a massive total of 213.
