Khaleel Ahmed has given a perfect start to Chennai Super Kings as he dismissed Jake Fraser-McGurk for a duck in just five balls during their IPL 2025 clash against Delhi Capitals at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday, April 5.
After four dot balls, the pressure mounted on the aggressive Australian batter, who looked to go for a big shot off a well-planned delivery, but Chennai Super Kings’ plan worked fabulously. CSK had clearly studied the Delhi Capitals opener’s strength—his love for hitting straight down the ground.
However, Khaleel decided to stick to a smart back-of-length line instead of pitching in his hitting arc and successfully frustrated Fraser-McGurk. Finally, when the DC star got a length ball around off, he cleared his front leg and went for the big shot across the line but couldn’t connect cleanly.

The ball went high off the lower part of the bat, and Ravichandran Ashwin, who was stationed at mid-on, calmly backpedaled and completed a clean reverse-cup catch. The Chepauk crowd erupted as CSK struck early against DC in the ongoing IPL 2025 clash.
However, Khaleel was not just lucky; it was a perfectly executed plan to trade the dangerous Fraser-McGurk before he could settle in to dent CSK’s hopes in the ongoing encounter.
Aakash Chopra's prediction comes true in IPL 2025 clash
Interestingly, former Indian batter and commentator Aakash Chopra had predicted the DC opener’s dismissal in the same fashion. After the four straight dot balls, Chopra had said on-air that Fraser-McGurk could not resist him from going for the big one, and in the very next ball, the Aussie star took the risk and paid the price.
