When CSK confirmed Mhatre’s injury and IPL 2026 exit

Ayush Mhatre played six matches for the CSK franchise in the ongoing IPL 2026 season. However, during the match against the SRH at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on April 18, the youngster sustained a left hamstring injury.

A couple of days later, he was ruled out of the remainder of the tournament, as confirmed by the CSK franchise on its social media accounts. In their official statement, the franchise wrote “Ayush’s injury will require a rehabilitation period of 6-12 weeks. We wish Ayush a speedy recovery.”

All in all, Mhatre scored 201 runs in his six batting appearances for the CSK this tournament at an average of 33.50 and with an explosive strike rate of 177.87.

How has CSK fared without MS Dhoni, Ayush Mhatre and others?

The CSK franchise has been marred with injury concerns to several of its key players, apart from young Ayush Mhatre. Former captain and legendary wicketkeeper-batter MS Dhoni is also yet to play a single game this IPL 2026 season so far for his franchise owing to his calf strain.

New ball paceman Khaleel Ahmed has also been ruled out of the tournament by the franchise owing to his own injury.

In the absence of several star attractions, the CSK franchise has so far procured just four wins and five defeats from nine matches to be placed in the bottom half of the IPL 2026 points table. They will now face the Delhi Capitals in their must-win game on May 5 in Delhi.
