In Match 52 of the Indian Premier League 2025<\/strong> between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)<\/strong> and Chennai Super Kings (CSK)<\/strong> at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed<\/strong> endured a night to forget, delivering one of the most expensive bowling spells in IPL history.<\/p>\n

Khaleel was hit for 33 runs in the 19th over<\/strong> by Romario Shepherd<\/strong>, making it one of the top five most expensive overs in the tournament\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

    Shepherd\u2019s blistering knock \u2014 33 off 9 balls<\/em>* with a strike rate of 366.67<\/strong> \u2014 helped RCB post 193\/5<\/strong> after 19.1 overs, shifting momentum in the death overs.<\/p>\n

    Khaleel Ahmed\u2019s final bowling figures:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      3 overs, 65 runs, 0 wickets, economy 21.67<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      With this, Khaleel not only joined the list of top 5 most expensive overs in IPL history<\/strong>, but also entered the top 10 list of most runs conceded in a single IPL innings<\/strong>, equalling the likes of Umesh Yadav<\/strong> and Sandeep Sharma<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      While Khaleel didn\u2019t break Harshal Patel\u2019s or Parameswaran\u2019s infamous 37-run over record, his 33-run over and overall spell will go down in the books as one of the most costly in IPL bowling history.<\/p>\n

      As the playoff race heats up, these margins could prove critical for CSK \u2014 and unforgettable for Khaleel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
