IPL 2025, Teen Summer! Ayush Matre 3 to score the youngest fifty, Vaibhav joins Suryavanshi
Suresh Raina hit fifty fifty for CSK for the youngest player. Now, this is of Ayush Matre.
Ayush Mhatre was born a year before the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) was played in 2008. The league has reached its adulthood, 18 years. But Mhatre will have to wait another two months. Even before he becomes an adult, Mhatre has broken the record for the youngest to score a fifty for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and the third in the all-time IPL list.
Youngest to score fifty or more runs in IPL
14 years, 32 days – Vaibhav Suryavanshi (Rajasthan Royals)
17 years, 175 days – Riyan Parag (Rajasthan Royals)
17 years, 291 days – Ayush Mhatre (Chennai Super Kings)
18 years, 169 days – Sanju Samson (Rajasthan Royals)
18 years, 177 days – Prithvi Shaw (Delhi Capitals)
Ayush Mhatre takes Bhuvneshwar Kumar to the cleaners
Mhatre would have been the centre of attention if not for Vaibhav Suryavanshi. The 14-year-old holds the record for being the youngest to score a fifty+ score in IPL and T20 history. And both have done something similar. Suryavanshi took Ishant Sharma to the cleaners, scoring 30 runs off his over. Mhatre did the same to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, taking him for 26 runs.
Mhatre didn’t score a 17-ball fifty like Suryavanshi but reached the milestone in just 25 balls. Given that CSK needed 214 runs to claim just their 3rd win of the IPL 2025 season, his half-century was essential. And to do that at just 17 makes it even more special.
The IPL 2025 season has turned out to be the summer of teenagers. These are future stars. MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are reaching the ends of their careers. And Mhatre and Suryavanshi seem to be ready to take over, despite being more than 20 years younger.
