Mitchell Santner held onto a wonderfully executed catch while backtracking to dismiss Ayush Mhatre during the ongoing game between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday, April 20. The 17-year-old departed after a lively knock of 32 runs off 15 deliveries.
A leg-cutter by former CSK player, Deepak Chahar, was sliced high up towards long-on. The hoick got more elevation than distance though. Santner’s initial movement was forward. However, he quickly tracked back to hang onto execute the catch without losing balance.

Mhatre was Chahar’s first wicket of the evening. The right-arm medium pacer bowled four overs on the trot. He ended up conceding only 32 runs in his spell. Mhatre was the second wicket to fall for CSK, who were put in to bat by the Hardik Pandya-led MI outfit.
Earlier in the evening, MI announced an unchanged XI from their previous game, a four-wicket victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Thursday, April 17. On the other hand, MS Dhoni announced that Mhatre will replace Rahul Tripathi at the top of the order.
The two sides previously clashed against each other in IPL 2025. CSK ended up clinching the win by four wickets with five balls to spare at Chepauk. Noor Ahmad was adjudged with the Player of the Match accolade for his fantastic display of bowling (4/18 in four overs).
