Chennai Super Kings brought in 17-year-old Ayush Mhatre in place of injured captain Ruturaj Gaikwad. Since his debut in the Cash Rich League, Mhatre has shown great intent and changed Chennai's approach in the powerplay.

Mhatre became the third-youngest player to score a half-century at the age of 17 years and 291 days. Mhatre scored 94 runs and missed out on a century but still received praise from his Mumbai senior.

Mhatre scored 94 runs in 48 balls. During his inning, he hit 5 sixes and 9 fours and showed his aggressive intent at the crease. He was also dismissed while trying to hit a six. After the youngster's innings, Suryakumar Yadav took to social media to applaud his intent and wrote Ian Bishop's all-famous tag line – 'Remember the name!' and said that the future is here. '

Earlier, in a video shared on the official IPL Instagram account, Surya had said that he has been following Mhatre's journey for the past two years and that the youngster is very hardworking. He also said that Mhatre is very honest about the game and he likes this quality of his very much.

"I think Aayush is a very good boy," Surya said ahead of the match between Mumbai and Chennai. I've been watching him very closely for the past two years. The way he practices, the way he works hard, I think that's a very important aspect of his life. And I love one thing about him, 'He's very honest about the game. "
