CSK vs MI: Noor Ahmad Creates History with Best Bowling Figures for a CSK Debutant in IPL History

Afghanistan’s young spinner Noor Ahmad made a dream debut for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025, delivering a match-winning spell against Mumbai Indians. The left-arm spinner registered 4/18 in four overs, marking the best bowling figures for a CSK bowler on debut.

Noor Ahmad’s Magical Spell

Noor Ahmad turned the game in CSK’s favor, dismissing Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Robin Minz, and Naman Dhir in a clinical display of spin bowling. He maintained an economy of 4.50 and did not concede a single boundary in his four-over spell.

This remarkable performance not only made him CSK’s best debutant bowler but also gave him the best bowling figures by a CSK spinner against Mumbai Indians in IPL history.

Mumbai Indians Struggle Against Spin

Batting first, Mumbai Indians found it tough to build momentum and were 120/7 in 17 overs before rain interrupted the match. Tilak Varma (31 off 25) and Suryakumar Yadav (29 off 26) were the only batters to offer some resistance, but Noor Ahmad’s brilliance ensured MI never recovered.

Khaleel Ahmed (2/16) provided early breakthroughs, while Ravichandran Ashwin (1/31) also chipped in with a wicket.

A Debut to Remember

Noor Ahmad’s performance showcased his talent and justified CSK’s decision to play him ahead of other options. His impressive spell not only helped CSK dominate MI but also made IPL history with his record-breaking figures.
