Ayush Mhatre, who is currently taking center stage and showcasing his qualities in the ongoing U-19 Asia Cup, is a 17-year-old who has been constantly knocking on the selectors’ doors in recent times. Not only in this tournament, but since last year, he was included in Mumbai’s Under-23 squad for the CK Nayudu Trophy and has earned several accolades, including being named in MCA’s Under-19 Team of the Year for 2023-24. If we closely observe, he is consistently making a name for himself on the big stage, from getting a call-up for Mumbai’s Irani Trophy last month to now performing wonders in the ongoing junior Asia Cup. So, are we going to see his performances in the upcoming IPL 2025 as well?
Ayush Mhatre IPL 2025 team
Ahead of the IPL 2025 auction, it came to light that Ayush Mhatre was called by CSK for a trial, where he impressed many, especially MS Dhoni, who was taken aback by his batting style and technique. However, when Mhatre came under the hammer, CSK did not bid for him, and he went unsold. Despite the chances, it all came to an end as he is not part of any IPL team.
Ayush Mhatre’s magic in U19 Asia Cup!
Now, after all that happened, Ayush Mhatre is doing wonderfully in the ongoing U-19 Asia Cup. Although he didn’t impress much in the first match against Pakistan, he showed a glimpse of his potential. In the second game against Japan, this CSK-rejected batter smashed 54 runs in just 29 balls. What stood out was his approach and the way he was striking the ball.
