Chennai Super Kings (CSK) started their IPL 2025 campaign with an impressive four-wicket victory over arch-rivals Mumbai Indians. After restricting Mumbai to just 155 runs in 20 overs, CSK successfully chased the target in 19.1 overs.
Rachin Ravindra and Ruturaj Gaikwad played crucial innings to guide their team to victory. However, after this remarkable win, a viral video on social media led to allegations of ball-tampering and match-fixing against CSK.
In the video, CSK pacer Khaleel Ahmed can be seen cleaning the ball during a conversation, but instead of using a towel, he appears to rub it with his hand. Fans alleged that he might have been applying a foreign substance to the ball.
Another segment of the video shows a conversation between former CSK captain MS Dhoni and an on-field umpire. The umpire responds to Dhoni with a thumbs-up gesture, sparking speculation among fans that something suspicious might have occurred.
