Watch: Shreyas Iyer’s Heated Clash with Khaleel Ahmed After PBKS vs CSK Thriller!
Shreyas Iyer and Khaleel Ahmed were caught in a tense exchange after PBKS beat CSK by 18 runs. Khaleel dismissed Iyer for 9, sparking the post-match spat. Priyansh Arya’s blistering 103 off 42 and CSK’s chase falling short at 201/5 added to the drama in Mullanpur.
With the IPL 2025 in full swing, tensions flared during the Punjab Kings (PBKS) vs Chennai Super Kings (CSK) clash when Shreyas Iyer and Khaleel Ahmed were caught in a heated post-match exchange. While the cause remains unclear, Khaleel’s fiery celebration after dismissing Iyer for just 9 runs off 7 balls seemed to spark the confrontation. The left-arm pacer has now dismissed Iyer three times in seven IPL meetings, conceding only 33 runs from 24 deliveries.
PBKS secured a commanding 18-run win, powered by Priyansh Arya’s blistering 103 off 42 balls, including a 39-ball century. Shashank Singh (52*) and Marco Jansen (34*) helped PBKS post 219/6 despite early setbacks. In reply, CSK’s chase fell short, finishing at 201/5. Devon Conway top-scored with 69, while Shivam Dube added 42 off 27. Rachin Ravindra (36) provided a quick start, but wickets at crucial stages, including by Lockie Ferguson and Glenn Maxwell, derailed CSK’s momentum.
This wasn’t the first time Khaleel stirred controversy — he previously clashed with Virat Kohli in an earlier match. As social media buzzes with the Iyer-Khaleel altercation, PBKS continue to rise, while CSK struggle to find consistency in chases this season.
