WATCH: 4,6,6! Dream start for this 17-year-old debutant in IPL 2025, his name is…

New Delhi: On Sunday, April 20, Chennai Super Kings faced off against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium, where the home team chose to bowl first against MS Dhoni’s squad. For this fixture, the Yellow Brigade made a few alterations to their lineup and also introduced 17-year-old Ayush Mhatre, who was making his first appearance.

Interestingly, the teenager didn’t have to wait long for his opportunity, as he was sent in to bat soon after Rachin Ravindra was dismissed in the fourth over by Mumbai. Mhatre lived up to expectations, confidently taking on Ashwani Kumar and smashing the left-arm pacer for two maximums.

Remarkably, it marked CSK’s maiden six within the powerplay phase of IPL 2025. Now, let’s dive into the explosive batting display by the Yellow Army.
