CSK Prospect Ayush Mhatre Joins Elite Company After Captaining India to Record Sixth U19 World Cup Title

Chennai Super Kings prospect Ayush Mhatre has cemented his place in Indian cricket history by captaining the India Under-19 team to a record sixth ICC U19 World Cup title. India defeated England by 100 runs in the final at Harare Sports Club, successfully defending a massive total of 411.

Mhatre, who is one of the youngest players in the CSK system, led the team through an unbeaten campaign. In the final, he played a crucial supporting role alongside Player of the Tournament Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, scoring 53 runs and helping lay the foundation for India's towering score. This victory adds Mhatre's name to an elite list of Indian U19 World Cup-winning captains, including Virat Kohli and Prithvi Shaw.

This triumph underscores the depth of talent emerging from India's youth system and provides significant momentum for Mhatre as he looks to transition into the senior professional circuit, potentially bringing his winning mentality to the IPL stage with CSK.
