Mhatre's Hamstring Blow Deepens Chennai's IPL Crisis

Mike Hussey said the 18-year-old will be scanned after limping off and called the injury a major loss for CSK.

  • During Chennai Super Kings' 10-run loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad on Saturday, young batter Ayush Mhatre sustained a hamstring tear while attempting a second run, requiring immediate on-field medical attention.
  • Mhatre, an 18-year-old Impact Sub for CSK, had provided early momentum in the chase of 195, scoring 20 off 13 balls before the injury struck in the fifth over.
  • Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin criticized CSK's medical management, stating, "His injury has been a concern," during an online interaction about allowing the limping teenager to remain on field.
  • Coach Michael Hussey confirmed the severity, stating, "Ayush Mhatre has sustained a hamstring tear," and admitted, "Unfortunately, it's going to be a huge loss for us" as Mhatre faces medical scans.
  • With bowlers Khaleel Ahmed and Nathan Ellis already sidelined, CSK faces compounded personnel challenges as they prepare to face Mumbai Indians on Thursday without their rising star.
