Chennai Super Kings (CSK) youngster Ayush Mhatre pulled off an excellent catch to dismiss Gujarat Titans (GT) batter Sherfane Rutherford for a four-ball duck in the IPL 2025 fixture in Ahmedabad on Sunday, May 25. The 17-year-old dived to his left from mid-on to hold on to a smart catch, leaving GT reeling at 30/3 in a 231 chase.
