Khaleel Ahmed has reignited the bragging rights between him and Virat Kohli in the IPL 2025 with a passionate reaction on Saturday (May 3).

In the high-stakes IPL 2025 match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings, one of the standout moments came when Khaleel Ahmed reacted sharply after taking the crucial catch of Virat Kohli.

Positioned at backward point, Khaleel held on to a sharp chance off Sam Curran's bowling to end Kohli's explosive innings of 62 off just 33 balls. What followed was a charged moment- Khaleel slammed the ball onto the ground in visible emotion, drawing attention from fans and players alike.

This reaction was not without history. In the previous encounter between the two sides at Chepauk, Khaleel and Kohli had a fiery face-off. Khaleel had bowled a bouncer and then walked toward Kohli during his follow-through, resulting in an intense exchange of stares. The tension carried into the post-match handshake where Kohli, visibly annoyed, confronted Khaleel. The left-arm pacer was caught on camera saying, "Bhaiyya bowling toh karrne do dhang se," trying to diffuse the situation.

Fast forward to the latest match, Kohli seemed to channel that heat into aggression with the bat. He smashed Khaleel for two consecutive sixes early in his innings, with the bowler offering nothing more than a dry smile in return.

This simmering individual rivalry added an extra layer of drama to the RCB vs CSK contest, showcasing the intensity and emotional stakes that make the IPL a spectacle beyond just cricket.
