Ayush Mhatre - (Source: @IPL)
On Sunday, April 20, Chennai Super Kings locked horns against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium where the hosts asked MS Dhoni-led side to bat first. For the ongoing match, the Men in Yellow made couple of changes and also handed debut to 17-year-old Ayush Mhatre.
Notably, the 17-year-old was put to test quickly as he was asked to bat early on after MI got rid of Rachin Ravindra in the 4th over of the match. Mhatre justified the selection as he took on Ashwani Kumar and whacked the left-arm seamer for couple of sixes.
