Ayush Mhatre continued his impressive performance in the IPL with a brisk 30-run innings for Chennai Super Kings in their home game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The 17-year-old was brought in to strengthen CSK’s top order after a rough start to the season. Mhatre’s attacking style and impressive domestic career for Mumbai earned him praise from IPL legend Suresh Raina, who compared him to Virender Sehwag.
Mhatre’s inclusion in the IPL came after a successful Vijay Hazare Trophy campaign for Mumbai, where he scored 458 runs in 7 innings with two centuries. His talent was acknowledged by senior players like Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma. Raina predicted a bright future for Mhatre, suggesting he could play for CSK for at least 10 years.
Despite Mhatre’s contribution, CSK struggled with the bat and lost early wickets against SRH. The young talent’s promising start indicates a potential long-term partnership with the team.
