Khaleel Ahmed had a stellar comeback in the international cricket scene, helping India absolutely crush Zimbabwe in the fourth T20I match
India left-arm seamer recently talked about his international comeback after a big five-year break, where he totally nailed it in the fourth T20I against Zimbabwe. This guy was like the MVP of the bowling department, snagging 2 wickets for 32 runs in just four overs.
He had this epic moment where he got rid of Dion Myers, who was on fire in the last game, by catching him off his own bowling in the final over. And then, with just one ball left, he sends Clive Madande packing too! Because of his heroics, Zimbabwe could only manage 152 runs for 7 wickets in their 20 overs.
Then, India's batting duo, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, come in and just smash it out of the park. Jaiswal hits an unbeatable 93 off 53 balls, and Gill's not far behind with 58 off 39. They make it look like a walk in the park as India reaches the target in just 15.2 overs without losing a single wicket.
After the match, Khaleel couldn't hold in his excitement. He's been waiting for this moment since 2018, so you can imagine how stoked he is to be back in the team's dressing room. He told Sony Sports, "This series means everything to me, man. I was so bummed not being with the team all these years. It's amazing to be back, doing my thing and helping the team win."
Someone asked him if he's filling Jasprit Bumrah's shoes as the senior bowler and he was all, "Nah, we're all cool, the team doesn't play favorites. I just focus on doing my job right and bowling with some serious responsibility."
So yeah, no big deal, just another day in the life of a cricket star making a triumphant return to the international stage.
