Chennai Super Kings (CSK) has caused intense speculations on a possible last minute addition to its workforce in the middle of its struggles in the IPL 2025. In fact, Chennai Super Kings has called the Mumbai Obrador, Ayush Mhare, 17, for testing at the Chepuk Stadium Iconic Stadium in Chennai.
This unexpected play has caused curiosity among fans, especially since Ayush Mhatre was not sold during the IPL 2025 mega auction last year, and the horrific shot of Rahul Tripathi as the Obrador of the Super Kings of Chennai in the current season.
Mhatre had to quickly head to Chennai after receiving the Chennai Super Kings call, as the young man assisted at the Zonal Camp of the National Cricket Academy of BCCI for Cricters under 19 years old in Rajkot.
However, he cannot join the team directly, but he could intervene as a replacement player if there is a discarding member due to injury or unavailability.
Chennai Super Kings MD and CEO Kasi Viswanathan said that Times of India said: “Yes, we called it tests. He has impressed our talent explorers. No (for injuries), if there is any need, we will do it. We do not choose anyone, it is only a trial.”
Consistent Mhatre actions at the younger level caught the attention of CSK’s talents. However, the franchise has reduced the speculation, calling it only a trial and clarifying that so far no injuries to the staff have not been notified in the current season.
Interestingly, this is not the first time CSK has shown interest in Mhatre. The franchise had previously called the Mumbai star for testing just before the IPL 2025 mega auction. Mhatre has attracted the attention of the highest direction and CSK talent explorers.
The talented young person had a star-debut season in Mumbai in 2024-25. He broke 458 runs in seven games with an average of 65.42, including two centuries and fifties in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. In the Ranji Trophy 2024-25, Mhatre scored 471 runs in eight games to an average of 33.64, with two centuries and a higher score of 176 against Maharashtra.
In the meantime, Chennai Super Kings faces a crisis of higher order than IPL 2025, and Ruturaj Gaikwad moves to the number three. Operators Rachin Ravindra and Rahul Tripathi have struggled to form a solid collaboration, causing calls to bring Devon Conway to the program.
With a single victory and two losses in three games, CSK fell to the seventh point table. Bringing young talent like Ayush Mhatre could add very necessary fresh energy to the squad to get out of the hard phase of the ongoing tournament.
The franchise also faces a large number of flakes due to Mrs. Dhoni’s bat. Unfortunately, Dhoni’s knees do not seem to be well; This was expected after surgery last year. Even CSK main coach Stephen Fleming clarified that only Dhoni can make the call to his battle position this season.
After suffering a close defeat of 6 runs against the Rajasthan Royals in his last game IPL 2025, CSK will face Delhi Capitals on April 5 at the Ma Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, and will be eager to gain his own ways.
