Chennai: 

Khaleel bowled a brilliant spell but he suffered some backlash on social media as the fans accused him of the ball-tampering after watching one of his interactions with Ruturaj Gaikwad. In a clip that went viral on the Internet, Khaleel can be seen pulling something from the pocket with the ball in his other hand. It looks like he then passes the object to captain Ruturaj. After watching the video of the incident, fans have accused the duo of ball tampering.

One user named Kevin demanded the franchise to be banned once again reminding everyone of the two-year ban the franchise faced in 2016 and 2017 due to the involvement of the owner of the team in betting activities.
