Ayush Mhatre Undergoes Surgery for Grade 4 Hamstring Tear

Overview

• Mumbai opener Ayush Mhatre had surgery for a right hamstring Grade 4 tear on Thursday at Kokilaben Hospital performed by Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala and began walking with crutches soon after.
• The tear occurred while Mhatre was batting on 48 and running between the wickets in Mumbai's Ranji Trophy opener against Chandigarh on October 11, forcing him out of that match.
• BCCI sources say the operation was successful and estimate a two-to-three month recovery but other outlets report a roughly four-month layoff that could rule him out for the season.
• Mumbai has already reshuffled its opening pair with Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Divyaansh Saxena filling the vacancy and went on to beat Chandigarh by an innings and 155 runs.
• The 19-year-old Mhatre previously missed time after a left hamstring injury on April 18 during the IPL and spent months in rehab, making this recurrence a significant interruption to his rising career and casting doubt on his participation in upcoming tournaments such as the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
