He scored 458 runs in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and 471 runs in the Ranji Trophy. Which includes three of his centuries. He also took some wickets in bowling. No team bid for him this season. But, now CSK needs their batting. His contract has been signed for Rs 30 lakh. Mumbai Indians will compete with CSK on 20 April. Mumbai’s Ayush will be seen playing against Mumbai in this match.
CSK conducted its mid-season trials in Chepak earlier this month. At that time Ayush was part of the BCCI’s Under-19 zonal camp and was brought from Rajkot for trial. CSK CEO Kashi Vishwanathan tweeted that he was contracted because he impressed our talent explorers. Thus Ayush has the opportunity to develop under the leadership of Bhajin’s head coach Stephen Fleming and MS Dhoni.
Ayush lives in the village of Nalasopara in the village. He used to play cricket at Shupark Maidan in Nalasopara. Due to which the pride of all sports lovers of Vasai taluka, including Nalasopara, has increased.
