IPL 2025: Noor Is An X-factor, It’s Good To Have Him In The Team, Says Gaikwad
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad lauded Noor Ahmad’s spell of 4-18 in the side’s four-wicket win over Mumbai Indians, saying that it’s good to have an x-factor player like the left-arm wrist-spinner in the side for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
Noor was CSK’s costliest pick at last year’s mega auction with Rs 10 crore splurged on him by the five-time champions, and he justified that by ripping through MI’s middle-order to pick the best figures for a CSK spinner against MI, as well as recording his career-best IPL spell. Apart from Noor, left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed shined by picking 3-29. “Our spinners were right on the mark, we were really excited about them bowling in tandem at Chepauk after the auction.”
“Khaleel has been doing well for the last 2-3 years, he's experienced. Noor is an X-factor and it's good to have him in the team. Dhoni is still the same, he's fitter this year and hitting more sixes in the nets this year,” said Gaikwad after the match ended.
