IPL 2024: Khaleel, Mukesh Kumar Share Five Wickets As Delhi Capitals Beat CSK By 20 Runs

Chennai Super Kings: Delhi Capitals pacers Khaleel Ahmed (2-21) and Mukesh Kumar (3-21) bowled brilliant spells at the start and in the middle of the innings to restrict defending champions Chennai Super Kings to 171/6 in 20 overs despite a magical 16-ball 37 not out by Mahendra Singh Dhoni and won the match by 20 runs to register their first win of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 here on Sunday.

Khaleel, who fell out of favour of the national selectors a few years ago but did well in the domestic circuit, rattled CSK by claiming the first two wickets by sending back openers Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rachin Ravindra to reduce CSK to 7/2 in Match 13 at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium. Khaleel ended with 2-21, bowling in the Power-play.

Mukesh Kumar continued to add to Chennai Super Kings' woes as he claimed two wickets off successive deliveries as he finished with 3-21 in three overs as Rishabh Pant used seven bowlers to keep Chennai Super Kings under pressure. CSK lost the match despite some late magic by former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni who hammered a sensational 16-ball 37 not out for the five-time champions towards the end of the match.
