Khaleel, who has been in some promising form in the IPL 2026 despite CSK's early struggles with the ball, has been ruled out after facing discomfort during the match against the Knight Riders at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. He has not only been sidelined but also ruled out for the remainder of the season.
Chetan Sakariya
As CSK would be looking for a like-for-like replacement within the XI, they would already have the choice for Mukul Choudhary, the known left-arm pacer who has formerly represented CSK in the IPL. However, they would also need a backup for the rest of the long season.
Sakaria is known to have a similar ability to that of the pacer Khaleel, who can swing the new ball and can also bowl some smart kinds of pace deliveries to trick the batter, thus making him a strong candidate for the role.
His name later came up when he was seen in the KKR nets for the trials to replace Harshit Rana in the season. However, Navdeep Saini was eventually picked, and he is still available to be picked by the Super Kings.
Akash Madhwal
The name that has been highlighted the most in recent times with the Mumbai Indians since 2023 is that of pacer Akash Madhwal. The right-arm pacer has had a major role to play with the Indians and was noticed after the stunning figures of 5/5 in the eliminator of 2023.
Known for a lethal pace and the ability to control the innings with slower deliveries and nail yorkers in the death, he will be an ideal replacement for Khaleel Ahmed in the Chennai Super Kings dugout.
