Ayush Mhatre was born a year before the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) was played in 2008. The league has reached its adulthood, 18 years. But Mhatre will have to wait another two months. Even before he becomes an adult, Mhatre has broken the record for the youngest to score a fifty for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and the third in the all-time IPL list.
Ayush Mhatre takes Bhuvneshwar Kumar to the cleaners
Mhatre would have been the centre of attention if not for Vaibhav Suryavanshi. The 14-year-old holds the record for being the youngest to score a fifty+ score in IPL and T20 history. And both have done something similar. Suryavanshi took Ishant Sharma to the cleaners, scoring 30 runs off his over. Mhatre did the same to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, taking him for 26 runs.
