[WATCH] IPL 2025: Ayush Mhatre smashes 28 runs off Arshad Khan in GT vs CSK clash

All is well when it ends well; this line can prove an exact fit for Chennai Super Kings, a 5-time IPL-winning franchise that is already knocked out of the IPL 2025 but finds some exciting talents for the upcoming days.

One of the talents is Ayush Mhatre. The 17-year-old top-order batter created mayhem in Narendra Modi Stadium today (May 25) against Gujarat Titans (GT). In an over in Gujarat, Mhatre thrashed 28 runs; the bowler was Arshad Khan.

The over started off with 2 and then only boundaries and over-boundaries. The over of Arshad Khan is like—2, 6, 6, 4, 4, 6. With the help of this over, CSK's run rate was touching the sky, and the strike rate was over 11.

Ayush Mhatre was well supported by his experienced opening partner 

Despite a quick pace start, Mhatre could not sustain his form and threw his wicket to Prasidh Krishna. In 17 balls, the budding talent got 34 and then fell short against Krishna; Mohammed Siraj, with his safe hands, completed the wicket. 

During his 34-run innings, Ayush hammered three 4s and the same number of 6s. Chennai Super Kings lost their first wicket at 44 on the scoreboard. Devon Conway was there to support the U19 opener. The New Zealand international bagged a half century, 52 off 35; the innings was decorated with six 4s and a couple of 6s.
