Punjab Kings secured an 18-run victory over Chennai Super Kings in the match in Mullanpur on Tuesday, April 8. Khaleel Ahmed dismissed Shreyas Iyer for nine runs off seven balls during the match. The ball landed on the off stump, and the PBKS batter attempted a big shot without proper footwork.
The exact reason behind the interaction remains unclear. Notably, the video fueled speculation and debate across social media platforms. Khaleel was also involved in a similar incident with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batter Virat Kohli following a loss earlier in the T20 tournament.
