Mumbai vice-captain Ayush Mhatre undergoes surgery for a right hamstring injury and is expected to be sidelined for about three months. The reports say the procedure takes place at Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai and is performed by Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala, with hospital sources indicating he undergoes the surgery on Thursday.
The coverage links the injury to the opening day of Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy season, when Mhatre suffers a Grade 4 right hamstring tear while running between the wickets against Chandigarh on October 11. Outlets differ on the likely duration and wider impact: one report suggests a four-month layoff and says he has previously had a left hamstring issue, while another frames the absence as a blow ahead of IPL 2027. Some outlets also note his post-surgery status, including that he is able to walk and is expected to be discharged later the same day.
