Anshul Kamboj continues to make waves in IPL 2025, and his latest outing against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the MA Chidambaram Stadium showcased just how special a talent he is. Tasked with defending a modest total of 154, Chennai Super Kings desperately needed an early breakthrough, and the young pacer delivered in style.
Facing an SRH side stacked with explosive hitters, the early dismissal of Travis Head was crucial. Head, despite being short on runs in recent games, remains one of the most destructive openers in world cricket. But Kamboj wasn’t intimidated by reputation. In just his first over, he bowled a perfect length ball that nipped in ever so slightly.

Kamboj’s breakthrough set the tone for CSK in the field, especially after their own innings was derailed following Dewald Brevis’ dismissal for 42 off 25. Kamindu Mendis had pulled off a spectacular diving catch to send Brevis back, which turned the tide in SRH’s favour. But Kamboj’s spell breathed life back into the match, showing that even with a modest total, CSK had the firepower and fight to stay in the contest, led by a young pacer with ice in his veins and fire in his eyes.
