CSK will bet on this 17 year old player, will the trend of older players end?

IPL 2025 Chennai Super Kings Ayush Mhatre: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is known for its aged players. It is said that mostly old players play in CSK. But for IPL 2025, Chennai is thinking of including a 17-year-old young player in the team. So let us know who is this 17-year-old player and why Chennai is looking at bidding on him.

These days, 17-year-old Ayush Mhatre, who is playing in Ranji Trophy 2024-25, has impressed the Chennai team and MS Dhoni. Ayush is seen doing wonders with his batting. He displayed excellent batting performance in the first class matches played so far, which caught the attention of the Chennai team.

According to Times of India, Ayush was called for trials by CSK after the fifth round of Ranji Trophy. In such a situation, Ayush can be seen playing for Chennai Super Kings in the 2025 IPL season.

Let us tell you that before this, Chennai had added uncapped Sameer Rizvi to the team in the 2024 IPL. CSK had bought Sameer for a price of Rs 8.4 crore. Similarly, Ayush can also get a good price from Chennai. Now it will be interesting to see whether Ayush gets a place in the Chennai team or not.

Ayush Mhatre’s first class career has been like this till now

Let us tell you that Ayush Mhatre, who plays for Mumbai, has played 5 first class matches in his career so far. In 9 innings of these matches, he has scored 321 runs at an average of 35.66. During this period, he has scored 1 century and 1 half-century from his bat.

The thing to note is that Ayush has not played any T20 or List-A match in his career till now. Including Ayush in the team without playing T20 can be a big decision for Chennai. However, there is still a lot of time before the start of IPL, before which Ayush may get a chance to play many T20 matches.
