CSK to Be Banned Again? Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad and Khaleel Ahmed Accused of Ball Tampering Against Mumbai Indians
Chennai Super Kings' captain Ruturaj Gaikwad and bowler Khaleel Ahmed are facing ball-tampering allegations after their match against Mumbai Indians.
The third match of IPL 2025 between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians took place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on March 23. Batting first, Mumbai Indians could only post 155 runs, which Chennai Super Kings chased down comfortably and won the game by 4 wickets. However, an incident during the match has caught everyone’s attention.
Khaleel Ahmed, who was the standout bowler for CSK with three wickets, was seen doing something with the ball while captain Ruturaj Gaikwad was present nearby. A video clip of this moment has gone viral on social media, with fans accusing him of ball tampering. The speculation has led to heated discussions, with many questioning whether any unfair means were used.
While the short clip does not provide clear evidence, the accusations have sparked controversy. Notably, Chennai Super Kings had previously faced a two-year suspension due to betting charges. If these new allegations are proven true, the team could face serious consequences once again.
