The 21-year-old left arm Indian pacer, Khaleel Ahmed made a promising debut in the year 2018. Khaleel made his ODI debut in the Asia Cup. With his ability to swing the ball in both the directions, he has the talent to become the next Zaheer Khan or the next Ashish Nehra for the Indian team in the coming years.

The young seamer from Rajasthan had a very bright domestic season which earned him the national call-up and a chance to wear the blue jersey for his nation. Khaleel emerged as one of the main strike bowlers for India during the Asia Cup 2018. Though, he did not play a huge role in India’s triumph, Khaleel Ahmed won the hearts of the fans with his dedication towards the game.

As an appreciation to his effort, during the presentation ceremony, MS Dhoni advised Rohit Sharma to give the trophy to Khaleel as it was his first trophy. This touched the hearts of the Indian cricket fans.
