Chennai Super Kings have unearthed a true diamond in Ayush Mhatre. Drafted in as a replacement for the injured Ruturaj Gaikwad, the young opener has not only filled the void but has quickly established himself as a cornerstone of CSK’s batting order.

In a match where CSK needed early momentum, Mhatre unleashed a brutal assault on Gujarat Titans pacer Arshad Khan, dismantling him for a staggering 28 runs in a single over during their IPL 2025 league-stage clash in Ahmedabad on Sunday. This blitzkrieg wasn't a fluke, it was calculated carnage.
