Ayush Mhatre set to miss rest of Mumbai’s domestic season after surgery for Grade 4 hamstring tear

Mumbai opener and vice-captain Ayush Mhatre is expected to miss the remainder of the domestic season after undergoing surgery for a Grade 4 right hamstring tear. The 19-year-old suffered the injury while batting on 48 during Mumbai's Ranji Trophy opener against Chandigarh. Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala performed the 90-minute procedure at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, with Mhatre facing an estimated four-month recovery timeline.

Mhatre's injury also rules him out of the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy scheduled for December. The setback continues a series of hamstring issues for the teenager, who previously led India to the Under-19 World Cup title and impressed for Chennai Super Kings before injuries disrupted his 2026 campaign.
