CSK Youngster Ayush Mhatre Dominates SMAT with Back-to-Back Centuries

Ayush Mhatre, a promising talent associated with the Chennai Super Kings, is setting the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy ablaze with his exceptional batting. After his debut T20 century, Mhatre continued his fiery streak with another century in Mumbai’s decisive victory over Andhra. In a chase of 160, Mhatre remained unbeaten on 104 from 59 deliveries, displaying remarkable power-hitting with nine sixes and five fours. He shared an unbeaten 105-run stand with national T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav, who contributed a quickfire 31. This stellar performance, occurring just days after his 110 against Vidarbha, underscores Mhatre’s rapid development. The 18-year-old’s aggressive style and consistent scoring have made him a key player to watch in domestic cricket and for the IPL.
