Here’s the latest on Ayush Mhatre’s injury:
- Reports from mid-April 2026 indicated Ayush Mhatre suffered a left hamstring injury during CSK’s IPL 2026 match vs Sunrisers Hyderabad. Initial updates suggested a tear and that scans would clarify the severity, with a potential 3-week sidelining period depending on scan results.[1]
- Multiple outlets (including NDTV Cricket and others) quoted CSK officials and The Indian Express-style reporting that Mhatre was expected to undergo scans and that the injury could sideline him for roughly three weeks, though the exact severity would be confirmed after medical evaluations.[5][7][1]
- Follow-up coverage indicated he was ruled out for a portion of IPL 2026 fixtures, with CSK stating a left hamstring injury would keep him out for the remainder of the season’s games depending on recovery, scans, and medical advice.[6][5]
Key takeaways:
- Injury type: hamstring tear/strain suspected, left leg.
- Initial timeline: scans to determine exact severity; early estimates pointed to around a 3-week absence, possibly longer if the tear was more significant.[7][1]
- Status: widely reported as out of the IPL 2026 season beyond the initial weeks, with CSK confirming an absence subject to medical clearance (various outlets echoed this framing).[5][7]
