IPL 2025: CSK's Ayush Mhatre becomes 3rd youngest player to score IPL fifty
Mhatre earlier went unsold during the IPL 2025 mega auction and was later roped in by CSK as a replacement for Ruturaj Gaikwad New Delhi Chennai Super Kings' Ayush Mhatre created history on Saturday against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, as the 17-year-old scored his maiden IPL half-century in just 25 balls to become the third-youngest player to score a fifty in the IPL. Rajasthan Royals' Vaibhav Suryavanshi tops the list, having scored his maiden IPL half-century earlier this season against Gujarat Titans at just 14 years and 23 days of age. Mhatre missed his much deserved century by 6 runs after being dismissed on 94. Notably, Mhatre had gone unsold during the IPL 2025 mega auction and was later roped in by CSK as a replacement for Ruturaj Gaikwad, who was ruled out of the season due to an elbow injury. Youngest players to score century in IPL: Rank Player Team Age Opposition Ground Start Date 1 Vaibhav Suryavanshi Rajasthan Royals 14y 23d v GT Jaipur 28-Apr-25 2 R Parag Rajasthan Royals 17y 175d v DC Delhi 04-May-19 3 Ayush Mhatre Chennai Super Kings 17y 291d v RCB Bengaluru 03-May-25 4 SV Samson Rajasthan Royals 18y 169d v RCB Jaipur 29-Apr-13 5 PP Shaw Delhi Daredevils 18y 169d v KKR Delhi 27-Apr-18 6 PP Shaw Delhi Daredevils 18y 177d v SRH Hyderabad 05-May-18 7 RR Pant Delhi Daredevils 18y 212d v Guj Lions Rajkot 03-May-16 8 Shubman Gill Kolkata Knight Riders 18y 237d v CSK Eden Gardens 03-May-18 9 Ishan Kishan Gujarat Lions 18y 299d v SRH Kanpur 13-May-17 10 SP Goswami Royal Challengers Bangalore 19y 1d v Daredevils Bengaluru 19-May-08 Who is Ayush Mhatre – CSK's 17-year-old prodigy? Ayush Mhatre, born on 16 July 2007 in Virar, Maharashtra, is emerging as one of the brightest young talents in Indian cricket. Hailing from the Nallasopara area within Virar, Mhatre's journey began at the age of six, but it wasn't until his mid-teens that he seriously pursued the game as a profession. To fuel his passion, he would make the long 80-kilometre commute by train from Virar to Churchgate, near the iconic Wankhede Stadium—a daily grind that highlighted his dedication and hunger for success. An aggressive opening batter, Mhatre burst onto the domestic scene with Mumbai during the 2024-25 season. He made his first-class debut in the Irani Cup at just 17 and quickly made headlines by smashing a remarkable 176 against Maharashtra in the Ranji Trophy. That innings not only showcased his talent but also cemented his place in the record books as the youngest cricketer to score over 150 runs in a men's List A game—surpassing the previous benchmark set by Yashasvi Jaiswal. On April 20, 2025, Mhatre took another significant leap in his career by making his IPL debut for Chennai Super Kings.

Virender Sehwag reveals why Delhi didn't pick Virat Kohli in IPL 2008
Former India cricketer Virender Sehwag has opened up on why Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) didn't choose Virat Kohli from the Under-19 players draft ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2008. The players from India's Under-19 World Cup-winning squad were put in a draft, and all eight teams had to choose the players one by ended up picking left-arm seamer Pradeep Sangwan instead of the Under-19 captain Virat Kohli, a move which is seen as the biggest missed opportunity in the history of IPL. Recently, Sehwag explained the reasoning behind the move and revealed that since Delhi was full of several batters, they needed a bowler and hence ended up choosing Pradeep was the captain who didn't pick Virat Kohli, and chose Pradeep Sangwan. He wasn't even on the auction table. We already had — I was there, Gautam Gambhir, Shikhar Dhawan, Dilshan — we had so many top-order openers. Then there was AB de Villiers too. So we already had a lot of batsmen, but we didn't have bowlers. Our thinking was, let's pick a bowler, and a left-arm one to bring some variety. So maybe that was a good choice — Mahesh and Pradeep Sangwan, these were two young bowlers at the time. In the first three years we played, both of them did well for us,' Sehwag said on Cricbuzz. Sangwan had a quiet season in 2008 as he ended up picking five wickets in the seven innings. However, he made a strong comeback in the next season as he scalped 15 wickets from 13 innings in Delhi's run to the semi-final. Sangwan played for three seasons in Delhi and scalped 29 the other hand, Virat Kohli went on to become a legend of the game in the following years as he now holds the record for most runs scored in the history of IPL. The star batter remains the only player to play for a single team in IPL history across all seasons and is also the poster boy for the T20 updated on IPL 2025 with India Today!

His selection includes prominent figures like Sachin Tendulkar, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and MS Dhoni, alongside other notable players. However, Sehwag's list notably omits current high-scoring players Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav, and Shubman Gill, despite their significant run totals in the IPL. 'First of all, Sachin Tendulkar. How can anyone forget him? He has won a lot of matches on his own. He has been a captain. He has won a lot of trophies. Second number is Virat Kohli. Yes, Virat Kohli has been playing for RCB for 18 years. He has not won a trophy, but he has won the Orange Cap many times,' said Sehwag in a video shared by Cricbuzz on X. 'Third number is Rohit Sharma. He is the captain of Mumbai. He has won 5 trophies for Mumbai. He has also played very well. Then there is Suresh Raina, who is called Mr Consistent in the IPL. He makes more than 400 runs every year. He has been an important batsman for CSK. Then there is his captain, MS Dhoni. Yes, he has been the captain of Chennai. He has also won a lot of trophies. He has played a lot of finals. He has also lost a lot of finals. He has finished a lot of matches.' 'Then there is Shikhar Dhawan. Shikhar Dhawan was an amazing batsman. He was an opener with me. He started with me in the Delhi Daredevils. Then he went to other teams. He has also played very well. Then there is Gautam Gambhir. He has won two trophies. He has played very well. He has played for Delhi and KKR.' 'Then there is Virender Sehwag. Virender Sehwag was a great Delhi Daredevils batsman. He played in the semi-finals of the IPL in the first three years. But he could not win. Then there is KL Rahul. He has gone to a lot of teams. But I think he is the right team in Delhi Capital. He has scored 90 runs recently. Yusuf Pathan. He is my last batsman. He has scored the fastest 100 for RR. He used to hit sixes a lot. He used to be scared of spinners. There are a lot of batsmen whom I could have joined. But I thought that they are the top 10 Indian batsmen,' Sehwag added.
