Kept playing even in pain, questions on management

In this match, Ayush had entered as an impact substitute and made a great start by scoring 30 runs in 17 balls. However, he suddenly felt pain while taking a run, but despite this he continued batting. This is the reason why questions are now being raised on team management. Fans and experts believe that the player was already looking uncomfortable, yet he was allowed to play.

CSK is already struggling with injuries. Fast bowler Khalil Ahmed is also out due to injury. In such a situation, the balance of the team is deteriorating and the season seems to be becoming more difficult. If we talk about the performance of Ayush Mhatre, he has scored 201 runs in 6 matches. His average was 33.50 and strike rate was 177.87, which was very important for the team.

Who will take the place? Urvil Patel ahead in the race

After Ayush’s exit, the discussion about replacement has intensified. In this, the name of Urvil Patel is coming to the fore. Urvil has also played three matches for the team last season where he scored 68 runs in three matches at a strike rate of 212. Urvil is known for his explosive batting and has scored a century in 28 balls in T20. In such a situation, he can prove to be a ‘readymade replacement’ for CSK. CSK’s next match is against Mumbai Indians on April 23 at Wankhede Stadium. This match is always considered high-pressure, in such a situation the team will not want to take any risk now.
