The Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru clash has always been a fan-favorite, featuring the epic showdown between two cricket legends—Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni. However, the match also delivers intense moments, like the recent face-off between Kohli and CSK pacer Khaleel Ahmed. Khaleel challenged Kohli with his fiery bowling, creating a thrilling on-field battle.
Stare-down contest between Khaleel and Kohli
Khaleel Ahmed celebrated an LBW appeal against Virat Kohli, convinced he had dismissed the star batter. However, the umpire disagreed, and CSK opted for a review, only to lose it as Kohli was given not out. Frustrated but determined, Khaleel followed up with a sharp bouncer, which Kohli attempted to pull but failed to connect. This led to an intense stare-down between the two, adding more drama to the contest.
