Afghanistan's Noor Ahmad announced himself as a Chennai Super Kings player in magnificent style in the IPL 2025 match against Mumbai Indians.

On a sticky deck at the Chepauk, Noor Ahmad bamboozled the Mumbai Indians middle-order with his magic.

CSK went all in for Noor in the IPL 2025 mega auction. After an intense fight, they finally acquired his services for a whopping Rs 10 crore. Although a few eyebrows were raised, the young Afghan has shown exactly the reason for his lofty price.

Noor Ahmad's introduction into the attack proved to be a game-changer for CSK. His spell not only stemmed the flow of runs but also yielded crucial wickets at vital junctures to turn the tide in CSK's favour.

In a moment that highlighted both his bowling prowess and the wicketkeeping brilliance of MS Dhoni, Noor Ahmad deceived MI's stand-in captain, Suryakumar Yadav, with a well-flighted delivery. Yadav, attempting an aggressive shot, was outfoxed by the turn and drift, leading to a lightning-fast stumping by Dhoni.

Ahmad was instrumental again in the next over as he picked up two wickets. He got the wicket of Robin Minz and then knocked over Tilak Varma to change the dynamics of the tie. The youngster then wrapped up with the wicket of Naman Dhir to complete his wicket-taking spree.
