Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have confirmed that fast bowler Khaleel Ahmed has successfully undergone surgery after picking up a quadriceps problem earlier in the IPL 2026 season. The franchise shared the update on Saturday, following the injury Khaleel sustained in CSK\u2019s match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Chepauk on April 16.<\/p>\n
