Khaleel Ahmed Replacement: 3 players who can replace Khaleel Ahmed in the match against SRH

Khaleel Ahmed Replacement: In the middle of IPL 2026, the Chennai Super Kings team has suffered a big setback. The team’s leading fast bowler Khalil Ahmed has been ruled out of the remaining matches of this season due to injury. Khalil has been one of the most successful bowlers for CSK this season, so his exclusion is a big blow to the team. CSK now has to play its next match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on 18 April. Now a big question before this match is who will get a chance to play in place of Khalil Ahmed in the match against SRH? We will tell you the names of those three players who can replace Khalil Ahmed in this match.

Mukesh Choudhary

29 year old left arm fast bowler Mukesh Chaudhary from Maharashtra can prove to be a perfect replacement for Khalil Ahmed for Chennai. He has played for CSK before also. He managed to play a total of 13 matches in IPL 2022, during which he took 16 wickets. He was one of the best bowlers of CSK that season, but in the three years since then he has got a chance to play in only three matches. In IPL 2025, he got a chance to play in two matches, in which he took one wicket. Now it will be interesting to see whether CSK gives him a chance in this match or not.

Ramakrishna Ghosh

Another player who can replace Khalil Ahmed is Ramakrishna Ghosh. He is being discussed a lot in domestic cricket since last year. 28-year-old Ramakrishna has the ability to consistently bowl at a speed of 140+ km per hour, along with this he is also adept at hitting long sixes in the lower order. Ghosh impressed everyone with his bowling in the Vijay Hazare Trophy (2025-26). Playing under captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, he took 17 wickets in just 7 matches. Against Himachal Pradesh, he took 7 wickets for 42 runs, which is the best performance of his career. In such a situation, he may also get a chance in the match against SRH.

Zakary Foulkes

Khalil Ahmed can also be replaced by 23 year old Kiwi bowler Zackary Foulkes. Faulks has experience of playing in 68 T20 matches. During this period he has taken a total of 77 wickets in his name. Be it powerplay or death overs, he is adept at taking wickets in any situation. While playing for New Zealand, he has taken 22 wickets in 22 T20 matches. Along with this, he has also debuted in Test and ODI. Now it remains to be seen whether CSK gives him a chance in the next match or not.
