Khaleel Ahmed

This young bowler was also with the Indian team for a good period since October 2018. He made his One-Day and T20I debut during this time and filled the vacant place of the third seamer in the team.

Khaleel didn’t let his captain down and rewarded him with a wicket on almost all the occasions.
