[Picture] “Daughters are a true blessing” – Ambati Rayudu welcomes newborn baby with a heartwarming post

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) senior batter Ambati Rayudu welcomed her newborn daughter with a heartwarming post on Tuesday, May 16.

The 37-year-old shared a picture of the newborn baby with his elder daughter with the caption.

“Daughters are a true blessing..”

CSK reshared the post with a heart-touching message that read:

“Two folds the Super dad joy. Congratulations Rayudu and Family.”

Reacting to the post, CSK teammate Shivam Dube replied:

“Congratulations bhai and family,” while tagging Ambati Rayudu

For the uninitiated, Rayudu tied the knot with college sweetheart Chennupalli Vidya on Valentine’s Day in 2009. The couple welcomed their first daughter in July 2020.

On the professional front, Ambati Rayudu has been abysmal with the bat in the ongoing IPL 2023 so far, scoring 122 runs in 12 games at a strike rate of 127.08.

The right-handed batter will now look to return to form in CSK’s last group-stage game against the Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday, May 20.
