Rohit Sharma gifts Ayush Mhatre signed bat ahead of India U-19’s England tour

Rohit Sharma gifted young Mumbai sensation Ayush Mhatre a signed bat ahead of his tour to England as part of the India U-19 squad. Mhatre, who caught everyone’s attention with his performances for CSK in IPL 2025, will be captaining the Indian team during their tour of England. The Mumbai youngster is known to be an ardent fan of Rohit and shared an image with the India ODI skipper ahead of the tour. Mhatre was seen posing with Rohit in the Instagram post while proudly holding the autographed bat from the veteran opener. Mhatre also posted a heartwarming message along with the picture, thanking Rohit for his gift. “A bat, a blessing, and a memory of a lifetime — thank you Rohit da,” said Mhatre on Instagram. The India U-19 squad will be touring England from June 24 to July 23 and will play five Youth ODIs and two multi-day games against the England U-19 side.

What Mhatre said about sharing dressing room with Rohit Mhatre has already had the privilege to share the dressing room with Rohit when the veteran turned up to play a Ranji game for Mumbai against J&K earlier in the year. Rohit replaced the youngster in the lineup for Mumbai, but Mhatre went on to write a heartwarming message to his idol. Mhatre said he started playing cricket while watching Rohit bat and it was an unreal moment to now share the dressing room with him. “Started playing cricket by watching him bat on television to sharing a dressing room with my idol was such an unreal moment. Lots of learning to take forward,” said Mhatre. Rohit is now taking a break from the game after announcing his retirement from Test cricket ahead of the England tour. The ODI skipper will next be in action when India travel to Australia for a white-ball tour. Published On: Jun 18, 2025
