The Mumbai batter Ayush Mhatre has set a new world record for the youngest player to score 150+ runs in List A Cricket during the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 match against Nagaland.
At the age of 17 Years 168 days, Mhatre broke the previous record set by Indian batter Yashasvi Jaiswal who achieved the feat at the age of 17 Years and 291 days while playing for Mumbai against Jharkhand in 2019.
Mhatre made his debut for domestic giants Mumbai earlier this season, clobbered 11 sixes and 15 fours to make 181 off only 117 balls while powering his side to an imposing 403 for seven in their 50 overs.
Mhatre has been integral part of the domestic heavyweights across formats ever since he broke into the squad earlier this season.
He was part of the Mumbai team which won the Irani Cup by defeating Rest of India after a gap of 27 years in October. During his Ranji Trophy debut, Mhatre scored a fine 71 ball 52 but Mumbai lost the season opener to Baroda in an away game.
With the defending champions looking to bounce back after the loss in the first Ranji game, Mhatre led the charge with a brilliant 176 off 232 balls, which was studded with 22 fours and four sixes against Maharashtra.
He slammed his second first-class ton with 116 runs off 149 deliveries with 12 fours and three sixes against Services and represented India in the U-19 Asia Cup.
The right handed batter carried his form by scoring fifties against Japan and UAE but fell for single digit score in the tournament’s final which India lost to Bangladesh.
Having missed Mumbai’s SMAT 2024 title run, Mhatre returned to the premier domestic 50-over domestic competition with a 78 in a high scoring contest against Karnataka.
