Desk. The IPL 2026 season has not been good for Chennai Super Kings. The Chennai team has suffered a major setback in the ongoing season. The team’s star batsman Ayush Mhatre has been ruled out of IPL 2026 due to injury. Mhatre has been the highest run-scorer for Chennai so far this season, so his exclusion is a big blow to the team. His ouster would have obviously increased the tension of the CSK management.
Regarding Ayush Mhatre, Chennai Super Kings has said that Ayush Mhatre suffered a serious injury and it will take 6-12 weeks to recover, due to which he will not be able to play further in this tournament. CSK posted on Twitter that Ayush Mhatre has been ruled out of the remaining matches of IPL 2026 due to a left hamstring injury he suffered while batting during the match against SRH on April 18. It will take 6-12 weeks for Ayush’s injury to heal. We wish Ayush a speedy recovery.
Mhatre scored 201 runs in 6 innings in IPL 2026 at an average of 33.50 and strike rate of 177.87. Meanwhile, he also scored 2 half-centuries. Mhatre had played innings of 73 runs against Punjab Kings and 59 runs against Delhi Capitals. The team currently has players like Urvil Patel to replace Mhatre, who has been on the bench so far this season. In such a situation, they can be given a chance. Now it will be interesting to see who the Chennai Super Kings team gives a chance to in his place in the playing XI.
Chennai Super Kings team is facing the problem of injured players this season. Earlier, Nathan Ellis and Khalil Ahmed were also out. Team’s veteran batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni has also not been able to play till now due to injury. Talking about the performance of CSK, this season the team led by Ruturaj Gaikwad has registered 2 wins and has faced 4 defeats. At present, Chennai team is at eighth position in the points table with 4 points.
