Ayush Mhatre injury update: CSK batting coach Michael Hussey shares major concern
Chennai Super Kings face a significant injury blow as young batter Ayush Mhatre suffered a hamstring tear during their match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Mhatre was seen limping badly after pulling up midway through a run, and batting coach Michael Hussey confirmed the injury looks "really bad" and could be a "big loss" for the team.
Chennai Super Kings could deal with a major injury scare after young batter Ayush Mhatre suffered a hamstring injury during their chase against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The incident occurred in the fourth over of CSK’s pursuit of 195, when Mhatre pulled up midway while attempting a second run. Clearly in discomfort, he slowed down significantly near the crease and required immediate attention from the physio.
Despite the pain, Mhatre chose to continue batting briefly, showing grit and determination. However, his stay was cut short as he was eventually helped off the field by support staff, including Ramakrishna Ghosh and the team physio, with visible difficulty. He was seen limping badly, raising concerns within the CSK camp.
With CSK already dealing with multiple injury concerns this season, the latest setback could not have come at a worse time. Batting coach Michael Hussey confirmed the seriousness of the situation after the match, revealing that the injury could be more severe than initially expected. “Ayush Mhatre has a hamstring tear.
I don’t know how bad it is, we will have a scan, but it looks really bad unfortunately. It could be a big loss for us, because he has been in nice touch for us. He is an exciting young talent,” Michael Hussey said in post match press conference.
