Chennai Super Kings (CSK) opening batter Ayush Mhatre was initially ruled out of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season due to a left hamstring tear. However, recent medical reports have confirmed that the young top-order batter also suffered a wrist injury along with his leg problem.
The Ruturaj Gaikwad-led Chennai Super Kings will next face the Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday, May 5. The five-time champions are currently in sixth place on the 10-team points table, with four wins from nine matches, and need at least four more victories to keep their playoff hopes alive.
According to a report from The Times of India, Ayush Mhatre has suffered two injuries. The report stated that the added wrist issue will keep the teenager out of action for at least a couple of months.
“Ayush not only has a left hamstring injury, but has also been diagnosed with a wrist injury. He is now likely to be out of action for a couple of months,” a source told TOI.
This injury setback rules him out of the upcoming T20 Mumbai League in June, where Triumph Knights had retained him alongside Suryakumar Yadav. Before the injury, Mhatre had scored 201 runs in six innings at an average of 33.50 and a strike rate of 177.87.
It Looks Pretty Bad, Unfortunately - Mike Hussey
Ayush Mhatre suffered a left hamstring injury during the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on April 18. He continued batting despite struggling to run between the wickets during that chase before getting out for 30 runs.
Chennai Super Kings batting coach Mike Hussey expressed disappointment over the injury. He said that losing an in-form batter in such good touch creates a big gap in the team.
“It looks pretty bad, unfortunately. He's going to be a big, big loss because he's been in really nice touch for us,” CSK batting coach Mike Hussey had said about Mhatre's hamstring injury.
Chennai Super Kings recently ended their three-match losing streak with an eight-wicket win over Mumbai Indians (MI). Their next opponents, Delhi Capitals, beat Rajasthan Royals (RR) by seven wickets.
Chennai Super Kings' Official Statement On Ayush Mhatre's Injury
