Ayush Mhatre Shines for Chennai Super Kings with Record-Breaking Over
Ayush Mhatre's Stellar Performance
The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have found a remarkable talent in Ayush Mhatre, who was initially signed as a substitute for the injured Ruturaj Gaikwad. Mhatre has quickly established himself as a vital player for the team.
During a match against the Gujarat Titans on Sunday, Mhatre showcased his batting prowess by scoring 28 runs in a single over bowled by Arshad Khan. He started the over with just two runs but then unleashed a series of powerful shots, hitting two sixes followed by two fours, and capped it off with another six, leaving Khan unable to respond.
