After that, the most lethal players of Chennai are leaving the team one by one. In the match against KKR, fast bowler Khalil Ahmed got so injured that he was ruled out of the entire IPL 2026, whereas now CSK’s most lethal and young batsman may also be out of the IPL for 3 weeks. This player is none other than Ayush Mhatre.
Ayush Mhatre’s injury increased tension
When the bat of 18 year old Ayush Mhatre of Chennai Super Kings starts spewing fire against the opposition team, even the best bowlers start missing sixes. Last evening, till the time Ayush Mhatre was on the field against Sunrisers Hyderabad, looking at his brilliant batting, it seemed that Chennai Super Kings would be assured of victory. But suddenly he had a hamstring problem and due to pain, he was out after playing one shot.
Ayush Mhatre’s injury will be scanned
Giving an update on Ayush Mhatre’s injury, CSK coach Michael Hussey said that he had suffered a hamstring strain while batting against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The severity of Mhatre’s injury could not be known.

Hussey said in the press conference after the match, ‘It is a hamstring tear. Don’t know how bad it is. We’ll probably scan him the next day. I’m not sure, but yes, it looks pretty bad. Unfortunately, his absence will be a big loss as he was in good touch for the team.
Ayush Mhatre was in good form for CSK
18 year old Ayush may stay away from the field for about 3 weeks. Mhatre will reach Mumbai on Monday and get the scan done. CSK’s next match is against Mumbai Indians in which it is not possible for Ayush Mhatre to play.
