Key Questions Answered
Ayush Mhatre has been ruled out of competitive action for a month after tearing his hamstring during Mumbai's match against Chandigarh, which is a recurrence of an injury from IPL 2026. He has specifically suffered a grade 4 tear in his right hamstring.
Mhatre is expected to be out of action for four to six weeks. However, medical experts note that a grade 4 hamstring tear can require a minimum of three months for proper recovery and rehabilitation depending on the severity.
Mhatre's injury could pave the way for in-form Kolkata Knight Riders opener Angkrish Raghuvanshi, 22, to earn a call-up to the Mumbai team for their upcoming Ranji Trophy game against Himachal Pradesh in Bilaspur.
