Ayush Mhatre, a young batsman for Chennai Super Kings, was ‘Retired Out’ during their match against Delhi Capitals at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Mhatre was on a strong innings, scoring 59 runs off 36 balls before being retired out. This marked the sixth instance of a batter being dismissed in this manner in the history of the Indian Premier League.
Mhatre showcased his talent by reaching his second half-century of the season and contributing to a crucial partnership with Sanju Samson to boost CSK’s total. However, in a strategic move to accelerate the scoring rate towards the end of the innings, CSK decided to replace Mhatre with Shivam Dube. This decision proved effective as Dube added quick runs, helping CSK reach a total of 212 runs.
The list of batters who have been ‘Retired Out’ in the IPL includes notable names like Ravichandran Ashwin, Atharva Taide, Sai Sudharsan, Tilak Varma, Devon Conway, and now Ayush Mhatre. This unique form of dismissal adds an interesting element to the game and highlights the unpredictability of cricket.
The match between CSK and Delhi Capitals on this day will be remembered for Mhatre’s impressive innings and CSK’s strong finish. The game showcased the talent and strategy of both teams, making it an exciting contest for fans and spectators. Published on Apr 11, 2026.
