IPL 2025: How Ayush Matre impressed MS Dhoni, Stephen Fleming to earn CSK contract

Kautuk, who batted young from Mumbai, made his Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in a brave style, who was scoring 32 runs off just 15 balls to send alarm bells playing in the Indian camp in Mumbai. Matre, who came to the team as a replacement of CSK captain Ruturaj Gikwad, had already impressed the management of the franchise with his cameo in training sessions. When Gaikwad was excluded for the remaining season, Chennai did not even think twice before offering the contract.
Mhatre’s cameo burnt the CSK camp, but the middle-order cannot reach the speed they should have. Mumbai Indians fought well to limit Super Kings to a score of 176/5. MI reached the target with 9 wickets in hand and more than 4 overs, highlighting the gap between the two sides this season.
Although the necklace made the playoff qualification very difficult for CSK, head coach Stephen Fleming did not shy away from pointing some positivity in the team against MI.
“Yes, so we saw, we had some players during our training, and he was a player who stood outside. It is very difficult even when you are in a pure position to get a true gauge of a player, but, from a skill set, he was very impressive and a very made young man, who was often coming to come up with the bus, and I was very impressed, and I was very easy to take. “Stephen said in the post -match press conference,” How Matre impressed him and Dhoni in the nets before the IPL contract was given. “
“Perhaps the situation we are in, and with Ruturaj’s injury and for the form for others, it took an easy decision to bring him there. And a platform that seems big, but it is one that is familiar. So we looked at him with his surroundings -and he was definitely looking at it, so he was a effective start, so he said that he said that Mambai Yangster said,” he said that “said.”
CSK is placed under the 10-Team IPL points table, with only 2 wins in 8 matches so far. To eliminate the top 4 for them, a miracle hour is required.
