IPL 2025 mein Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ne ek naye sitare ka swagat kiya – Ayush Mhatre. Mumbai Indians ke khilaaf apne pehle hi match mein 17 saal ke is ladke ne 32 runs ki tezi bhari innings khel kar sabka dil jeet liya. Haan, match CSK ke haath se nikal gaya, lekin Mhatre ka confident knock definitely ek silver lining tha.
Wankhede Stadium mein hua yeh high-voltage match, jisme Rohit Sharma aur Suryakumar Yadav ne MI ko nine-wicket ki dhamakedaar jeet dilayi. Lekin spotlight kaafi had tak Ayush Mhatre par bhi thi, jo pehle unsold gaye the auction mein, aur baad mein Ruturaj Gaikwad ki jagah team mein aaye as a late replacement.
“Training sessions ke dauraan Ayush ek alag hi level ka lag raha tha. Net practice mein player ko judge karna tough hota hai, lekin uski skill aur composure ne MS aur mujhe dono ko impress kiya. Jab mauka mila, humne bina jhijhak use team mein liya,”
CSK ke coach Stephen Fleming ne post-match conference mein kaha.
“Wankhede jaise familiar ground par uska confidence dekhkar laga ki decision sahi tha. Debut par usne kaafi mature gameplay dikhaya,”
Fleming ne aur bhi add kiya.
Ayush Mhatre ab tak CSK ke history mein sabse young player ban gaye hain IPL mein khelne wale. Unhone Abhinav Mukund ka record tod diya, jo 18 saal aur 139 din mein debut kiye the 2008 mein. Mhatre ki entry future ke liye CSK ke rebuilding mode ko signal karti hai.
Halanki CSK ka season kuch khaas nahi raha – ab tak sirf 2 jeet aur 8 matches mein 10th position par hai team. Lekin Ayush jaise promising talent se umeed hai ki future bright ho sakta hai.
Next challenge? CSK vs Sunrisers Hyderabad – kya Ayush dubara apna magic dikhayenge? Yeh dekhna hoga!
