Ahmed who made his debut in Indian cricket team in the year 2018, is currently representing Sunrisers Hyderabad team in the ongoing IPL tournament. In the 29th league match, while playing against Chennai Super Kings, Khaleel went a bit expensive and conceded 45 runs in the four overs he bowled. However he took the two crucial wickets of Ambati Rayudu and Dwayne Bravo.

Bravo who came out in the middle in the last over, was tried to go for a maximum in the very first ball he faced. Unfortunately he completely missed it and got bowled by Khaleel Ahmed. Immediately after Bravo got out, Khaleel cheekily laughed by closing his mouth with his hand.

This gesture from him, received severe criticism from the followers of IPL tournament. Considering the legacy of Bravo, followers of cricket and fans of CSK team expressed their disappointment over the youngster. Check out some of their reactions below :

Not a nice gesture from Khaleel to put out a nakkalmaxx laugh after dismissing Bravo.

Bro, you just got smoked by a 20 year old in the last game. And today, by Jaddu who had the last laugh. Learn your place.
