Ayush Mhatre, a 17-year-old right-handed batter and off-break bowler from Mumbai, has emerged as one of India’s most promising young talents in cricket. Born on July 16, 2007 , his journey from local maidans to the Indian Premier League (IPL) exemplifies dedication, resilience, and prodigious skill.
Early Career & Foundation
Ayush’s cricketing journey began at age five, but his focus intensified at 15 when he transitioned from casual play to structured training . Despite battling depression and fitness challenges early in his career , his determination shone through. Nurtured in Mumbai’s competitive cricketing culture, he honed his technique and mental grit, laying the groundwork for rapid progress.
Domestic Career: Breakthrough with Mumbai
Mhatre made his first-class debut for Mumbai in the 2024–25 domestic season, impressing with his composure and strokeplay.

Representing Mumbai in age-group cricket, he also played for BPCL and New Hind Sports Club, showcasing versatility across formats . Notably, his first T20 fifty came in IPL 2025 , making him the third-youngest player to achieve this milestone .
International Ambitions: India Under-19
On the international stage, Mhatre has represented India Under-19 , participating in the 2024 Asia Cup with three appearances . His ability to anchor innings and accelerate in the death overs has marked him as a future contender for senior national selection. Though yet to debut for the senior team, his performances in high-pressure domestic and IPL matches suggest he is on the radar of selectors.
IPL 2025: A Star in the Making
Ayush Mhatre’s IPL debut on April 20, 2025, against Mumbai Indians made him the youngest CSK player to feature in the tournament at 17 years and 278 days . His breakthrough moment came on May 3, 2025, when he smashed 94 runs off 48 balls , blending aggression with calculated shot selection . This innings not only solidified his reputation as a finisher but also highlighted his adaptability to T20 pressure. His role as a batting allrounder—contributing with both bat and off-spin—adds depth to CSK’s middle order.
Strong Zones: Technical Mastery & Mental Resilience
Mhatre’s strengths lie in his clean straight drives , six-hitting ability , and composure under pressure . He excels in the middle and death overs , often stabilizing innings after early collapses. His off-breaks, while not his primary skill, provide tactical flexibility. Furthermore, his ability to overcome personal struggles underscores his mental toughness—a critical trait for modern cricket.
Legacy & Future Potential
At just 17, Mhatre has already etched his name in IPL history as CSK’s youngest debutant . His journey from battling fitness setbacks to scoring a 48-ball 94 reflects a rare blend of talent and perseverance. If he continues this trajectory, he could evolve into a mainstay of India’s middle order and a franchise icon. Moreover, his story serves as inspiration for young cricketers facing adversity.
