Setback For Mumbai As Vice-Captain Ayush Mhatre Picks Up Serious Injury

Young Mumbai batter Ayush Mhatre has suffered a grade 4 tear in his right hamstring and is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines, dealing a setback to the side at the start of the Ranji Trophy season. Mhatre is expected to be out of action for four to six weeks, although a grade 4 hamstring tear can typically require a minimum of three months for recovery, depending on the severity of the injury and the rehabilitation process. The 19-year-old had spent the last three months at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru, undergoing treatment and rehabilitation for an injury.

The fresh injury to his right hamstring is a major setback for the youngster, who had been named Mumbai's vice-captain for this season's Ranji Trophy campaign.

Mhatre, who has emerged as one of Mumbai's promising young batting talents, will now have to focus on recovery before returning to competitive cricket.

His absence would be a blow to Mumbai's plans, given the responsibility entrusted to him through his appointment as vice-captain, even as the team management awaits clarity on his rehabilitation timeline.
