He has hit two fifties and a score of 38, showing good consistency. His strike rate is 160, which means he is scoring runs quickly. He can be a good choice for captain.
Noor Ahmad has been in excellent form with the ball this season. He has taken 11 wickets in five matches so far. One of the best things about his performance is that he has taken at least one wicket in every match. In these five games, he already has one four-wicket haul and one three-wicket haul. He can be a good captain choice, and if he picks up more than one wicket, he can earn a lot of points.
Khaleel Ahmed has been one of the best bowlers for CSK along with Noor Ahmad. He has taken 10 wickets in five matches so far. Like Noor, he has picked up at least one wicket in every match. He has one three-wicket haul and three matches where he took two wickets. This consistency makes him another strong option for captaincy.
