Early Life

Ayush Mhatre was born on 16 July 2007 in Virar, Maharashtra, India. He hails from Nallasopara, a locality within Virar city, Maharashtra. He took to the game when he was five, but it was at 15 that he transitioned to thinking about professional cricket. To chase his dreams, he travelled nearly 80 kilometers one way by train from Virar to Churchgate (next to Wankhede Stadium) to access the game.
