Vaibhav Suryavanshi's friend will also play IPL? Dhoni can give a chance
In Under-19 cricket, Chennai Super Kings can add Vaibhav Suryavanshi's opening partner with themselves, however, there is no official information about this yet. But their trial has been done.
Like Vaibhav Suryavanshi, now his friend's luck is also going to shine. His friend can also get an IPL ticket. There are chances that in the middle of IPL 2025, Dhoni can give him a chance to play with CSK. In fact, after Ruturaj Gaikwad was ruled out of IPL 2025 due to injury, Chennai Super Kings are looking for his replacement. CSK can end their search as Vaibhav Suryavanshi's friend and opening partner Ayush Mhatre.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Ayush Mhatre... Under-19 Cricket Friendship
17-year-old Ayush Mhatre is the opening partner of Vaibhav Suryavanshi in Under-19 cricket, where both of them have raised a lot of flags together and written the script of India's victory. However, if Ayush Mhatre becomes a part of CSK, then playing him in the IPL will be against Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Because, recently 14-year-old Vaibhav is part of Rajasthan Royals.
Why did the talk of Ayush Mhatre joining CSK arise?
However, how did the matter of Ayush Mhatre's entry in IPL arise? CSK, which did not buy Ayush in the IPL 2025 mega auction after taking his trial in November 2024, why is there talk of joining CSK now? The answer to these questions lies in the date of April 4, the day it was reported that CSK had again called Ayush Mhatre for trials. The incident of calling Ayush Mhatre for the trial took place 5 days after Ruturaj Gaikwad suffered an injury. Actually, Ruturaj suffered the injury in the match played against Rajasthan on March 30, just 5 days before April 4.
Ayush Mhatre's trial was held on 4 April. After that, after playing two more matches, Ruturaj Gaikwad was out of IPL 2025. In such a situation, the question arises whether CSK is looking for its option in Ayush Mhatre.
What did the CSK CEO say?
According to the CSK CEO, he is not adding any player at the moment. However, he said that Ayush Mhatre has had a trial. And CSK's talent scout is also happy with his trial. The Chennai Super Kings CEO's statement is waking up that even if he does not add any player right now. But, it should not be surprising if Ayush Mhatre is seen to be in the CSK in the future.
