CSK Star Ayush Mhatre Injured for 4-6 Weeks
13 Oct
Summary
- Ayush Mhatre sustained a Grade 4 hamstring tear on his return to cricket.
- This is the second hamstring injury for Mhatre in 2026.
- He is expected to be out for at least four to six weeks.
Mumbai vice-captain Ayush Mhatre has suffered a significant setback, sustaining a Grade 4 tear in his right hamstring. The injury occurred during the Ranji Trophy 2026-27 opening clash at the Wankhede Stadium, ruling him out for at least four to six weeks. This incident marks the second time Mhatre has been troubled by his hamstring this year.
Earlier in the 2026 season, Mhatre was forced to leave the Indian Premier League midway due to a similar hamstring issue. After a three-month rehabilitation period, he returned to competitive cricket, opening the innings in the Ranji Trophy and scoring 48 runs. He reportedly sustained the latest injury while running between the wickets once again.
This recent injury adds to Mumbai's challenges, as veteran all-rounder Shardul Thakur was also ruled out of early fixtures with a fractured finger. Mhatre could potentially return for the Vijay Hazare Trophy, scheduled to begin on December 14.
