Ayush Mhatre is a right handed bat batter and one of the most watchable stroke-makers in Delhi Capitals' middle order. Born on July 16, 2007, Ayush has risen through the ranks to become a key figure in India's richest cricket franchise.

A right handed bat, Ayush combines an orthodox base with the improvised stroke play that modern T20 cricket demands. Few players in the IPL can shift the momentum of a match as quickly as Ayush — an instinctive timer of the ball and fearless hitter of the short delivery.

In the Indian Premier League, Ayush has established a reputation as one of the most reliable match-influencers in the competition, consistently delivering when it matters most for Delhi Capitals. Heading into IPL 2026, Ayush is central to Delhi Capitals' ambitions — a batter with the range, temperament and big-match experience to be the difference on any given day.
