Five IPL franchises—Delhi Capitals, Lucknow Super Giants, Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Gujarat Titans—are reportedly keen on acquiring Ayush Mhatre from Chennai Super Kings. The 19-year-old has impressed with 441 runs in 13 matches at a strike rate of 183.75, making him a hot commodity in the trade market.

Among the suitors, Mumbai Indians appear to have the most logical opening for Mhatre. Their current top three includes Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton, and either Suryakumar Yadav or Tilak Varma. Given Rohit's inconsistent form and Suryakumar's recent struggles, MI could slot Mhatre as an opener or at No. 3, allowing him to play his natural aggressive game.
