Young Indian cricketer Ayush Mhatre was recently honoured with a special signed jersey by India legend Sachin Tendulkar following India’s title-winning campaign at the U-19 World Cup 2026.

Batting first in the decider, India piled up a daunting 411/9 in their 50 overs, powered by Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s breathtaking 175 off just 80 balls. Skipper Ayush Mhatre also played a crucial role with a composed 53 off 51 deliveries. England, in reply, were dismissed for 311, handing India a commanding 100-run win.
On Monday, February 9, Ayush took to Instagram to share glimpses from a special visit to Sachin Tendulkar’s residence, where the young captain was presented with the batting great’s iconic Test jersey. Ayush’s family was also present during the memorable moment. He captioned the post:
“I grew up watching you through a screen. Today, I stand at your home, holding a piece of your journey in my hands. Thank you, Sir, for this honour. I will carry this with the same respect you carried Indian cricket for years. 🇮🇳🙏.”
