The Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy is witnessing an extraordinary display of batting from Ayush Mhatre, a promising talent for Mumbai and the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Mhatre has continued his phenomenal run of form by scoring back-to-back centuries. After notching his first T20 century with a blistering 110 off 53 balls against Vidarbha, the young batsman followed up with another magnificent hundred. In Mumbai’s dominant nine-wicket win against Andhra, Mhatre remained unbeaten on 104 from 59 deliveries. He anchored an unbroken 105-run partnership with Suryakumar Yadav, propelling Mumbai to victory with an over to spare. Mhatre’s aggressive knock featured nine sixes and five boundaries. This impressive performance adds to his already stellar tournament, where he has smashed 19 sixes in three games. The 18-year-old’s achievements are historic; he is now the youngest Indian cricketer to score a century in all three domestic formats, a record previously held by Rohit Sharma. His consistent brilliance has solidified his position as a key player for CSK and the India U-19 team.
