This 18-year-old kid sets a new record
Young batter Ayush Mhatre scripted history in Mumbai’s second Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy fixture against Vidarbha. The 18-year-old opener scored an unbeaten 110, helping Mumbai chase 193 at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. Mhatre’s 53-ball stay saw him hitting 8 sixes and as many boundaries, striking at 207.55.
Mahtre’s century took him to the record books. His century made him the youngest man (18 years, 135 days) to get hundreds in first-class, List-A and T20S, bettering Rohit Sharma’s record (19 years, 339 days). He also became the third-youngest to hit a men’s T20 century, after Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Vijay Zol.
Mhatre’s unbeaten 110 off 53 balls, along with India all-rounder Shivam Dube’s 39 not out, propelled Mumbai to a decisive seven-wicket win over Vidarbha in their Elite Group A match of the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy on Friday.
The defending champions overcame early setbacks, relying on Mhatre’s innings to chase down the target of 193 with 13 balls remaining, finishing at 194/3 in 17.5 overs at the Ekana Stadium. The 18-year-old Mhatre marked his maiden T20 century with eight sixes predominantly on the on-side.
Mumbai faced early trouble as Darshan Nalkande dismissed Ajinkya Rahane (0) in the second over, and Hardik Tamore (1) soon after, leaving them at 21/2.
India T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav, showing signs of returning to form, scored a fluent 35 off 30 balls and shared an 88-run partnership for the third wicket with Mhatre to stabilize Mumbai’s innings. Yash Thakur later dismissed Suryakumar, caught by Yash Rathod in the 12th over, bringing Dube to the crease.
Dube contributed significantly with three sixes and three fours in his 39 not out off just 19 balls, sharing an 85-run stand with Mhatre in only 35 balls.
Earlier, half-centuries from Atharva Taide (64) and Aman Mokhade (61) helped Vidarbha set a challenging total of 192 for nine. Openers Taide and Mokhade laid a strong foundation with a 115-run partnership in the first 10 overs but fell short of reaching 200.
Taide scored 64 off 36 balls, hitting nine fours and a six, while Mokhade showcased his versatility with two sixes and seven fours in his 61 off 30 balls. However, Dube’s 3/31 and Sairaj Patil’s 3/33 enabled Mumbai to restrict Vidarbha to 192 for nine.
