Young opener Ayush Mhatre scored his maiden T20 century to lead Mumbai to victory against Vidarbha in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025 match. According to ESPNcricinfo, Mhatre broke Rohit Sharma’s world record of becoming the youngest player to score a century in all three formats of cricket.
The 18-year-old batsman delivered a spectacular match-winning effort in Mumbai’s chase of 193 against Vidarbha at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Friday. Mhatre scored unbeaten 110 runs in 53 balls with the help of eight fours and as many sixes and gave the team victory by seven wickets with 13 balls remaining.
Ayush Mhatre breaks Rohit Sharma’s record with brilliant SMAT century
After his innings, Ayush Mhatre also joined a small group of players who have scored centuries in three formats at a young age. At the age of just 18 years and 135 days, he became the youngest player to score a century in all three formats of domestic cricket (First-class, List A and T20).
Before Mhatre, Rohit Sharma had completed a century in all formats at the age of 19 years and 339 days. Rohit scored his first T20 century for India in 2007 for Mumbai. Unmukt Chand, Quinton de Kock and Ahmed Shehzad also achieved this feat around the age of 20.
In international cricket, Zimbabwe’s Brian Bennett is the youngest player to score a century in all formats (Test, ODI and T20I). Bennett achieved the feat at the age of 21 during the ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier in September 2025.
Ayush Mhatre ready to lead India in U-19 Asia Cup 2025
Ayush Mhatre made his T20 debut for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2025. He impressed the franchise enough to retain him ahead of the 2026 auction. This young batsman is also ready to captain India in the Under-19 Asia Cup in December and the Under-19 World Cup in January 2026.
In January 2025, Mhatre became the youngest player to score a List A century when he scored 181 against Nagaland at the age of only 17 years and 168 days. He now has two centuries each in first-class and List A cricket.
Last season, for CSK, he scored 240 runs in seven innings at a strike rate of around 189, which also included a half-century. His ability to provide explosive starts convinced the franchise to retain him, with the hope that he would develop into a key member of their long-term core.
Mumbai won by seven wickets with Ayush Mhatre’s explosive 110 power.
Ayush Mhatre scored unbeaten 110 runs in 53 balls and led his team to victory by seven wickets. His explosive innings came when Mumbai were in early trouble at 21 for 2 after the early dismissals of Ajinkya Rahane and Hardik Tamore.
Mhatre was the first to rebuild the innings with Suryakumar Yadav, who scored 35 runs in an 88-run partnership. After Suryakumar’s dismissal, Shivam Dubey along with Mhatre scored an unbeaten 39, which helped Mumbai gain momentum and complete the chase at 194 for 3 with 13 balls remaining.
Earlier, Vidarbha had posted a competitive score of 192 for 9 thanks to half-centuries from Atharva Taide and Aman Mokhade, who added 115 runs for the first wicket. However, tight spells from Shivam Dubey and Sairaj Patil, who took three wickets each, ensured that Mumbai remained within reach of the target.
