Chennai Super Kings faces criticism for mishandling 18-year-old Ayush Mhatre's injury during an IPL 2026 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 18. Mhatre, visibly limping with a strapped knee, suffered a left hamstring tear after being called for a quick single by captain Ruturaj Gaikwad. He is now ruled out for 6-12 weeks. Fans and former cricketers questioned why the 'Retired Out' option wasn't used.
