Chennai Super Kings Sign 17-Year-Old Ayush Mhatre As Ruturaj Gaikwad's Replacement: Report
5-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Chennai Super Kings look all set to unleash another young star in the T20 league after signing 17-year-old Ayush Mhatre as the replacement for skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad. The CSK captain fractured his elbow, and the injury ruled him out of the remainder of the IPL campaign. The situation prompted the management to hand the franchise's captaincy to its icon MS Dhoni, but the team still needed an additional batter to fill in the void left by Gaikwad. After a successful 2-week trial, CSK management decided to hand Mhatre an IPL contract for the remainder of the season.
