Khaleel Ahmed gives hostile send-off to Shreyas Iyer after rattling his stumps

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed dismantled the stumps of the Punjab Kings (PBKS) captain Shreyas Iyer on Tuesday, April 8.

Khaleel Ahmed also gave a brutal send-off to the PBKS skipper during the 22nd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur.

Khaleel Ahmed destroys Shreyas Iyer’s stumps

The left-arm pacer Khaleel had a poor start in the match as he was taken to the cleaners by the young PBKS opener Priyansh Arya in the first over, giving away 17 runs.

He started his second over with a dot before Shreyas Iyer dispatched him for a beautiful six followed by a double on the next delivery.

Khaleel then bowled a full-length ball on off-stump on the 4th ball of the over to Iyer, who played without much foot movement, tried to flick it across, and the ball sent his off-stump cartwheeling as there was a huge gap between the bat and pad. After picking the wicket, Khaleel gave an aggressive send-off to Iyer.

Iyer walked back to the hut after scoring 9 runs off 7 balls, with one six. Overall, the right-handed batter has scored just 33 runs in 7 innings against Khaleel in the history of the Indian Premier League while being dismissed 3 times.
