Chennai Super Kings (CSK) has signed pacer Akash Madhwal as a replacement for top-order batter Ayush Mhatre, who has been ruled out of the remainder of IPL 2026 due to injury.
Interestingly, the team has opted for a fast bowler to replace Mhatre, and the recruitment is a cover for pacer Khaleel Ahmed, who was ruled out of the competition last week.
