Khaleel Ahmed, a bowler for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), has been ruled out of IPL 2026 due to a quadricep injury sustained during a match against the Kolkata Knight Riders on April 14. The injury will take more than 12 weeks to heal, further depleting a CSK squad that is already missing key players like MS Dhoni, who is recovering from a calf injury, and Nathan Ellis, who is sidelined for the entire season. Rookie Gurjapneet Singh is expected to shoulder more responsibility in Khaleel's absence. CSK may consider options like Mukesh Choudhary and Ramakrishna Ghosh for replacement, with Ghosh emerging as a standout player in the 2025-26 domestic season, having impressive performances in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
