Breaking! CSK bring in Akash Madhwal as replacement for Ayush Mhatre in IPL 2026

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have roped in Akash Madhwal as a replacement for Ayush Mhatre, who suffered a hamstring injury against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Madhwal, a 32-year-old bowler, has previously represented Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals in the IPL, joining CSK for his base price of INR 30 lakh. His inclusion will provide cushion to CSK's bowling attack, which has already lost Khaleel Ahmed due to injury.
