Ayush Mhatre Ruled Out IPL 2026: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) can’t seem to catch a break this season as now their young top-order batting star, Ayush Mhatre has been ruled out of the entire tournament. He picked up a left hamstring injury during Chennai’s recent clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), a match that they would go on to lose, registering their fourth loss in six games so far. Here’s a look at CSK’s official statement on the matter:
“Ayush Mhatre has been ruled out of the remainder of IPL 2026 due to a left hamstring injury sustained while batting during the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 18. Ayush’s injury will require a rehabilitation period of 6-12 weeks. We wish Ayush a speedy recovery.”
Last week, CSK’s primary fast-bowler, Khaleel Ahmed, had also been ruled out of IPL 2026 due to injury. Additionally, their veteran star, MS Dhoni, is still out of action due to a calf strain.
