Ambati Rayudu

The Mumbai Indians franchisee is known for having some flamboyant names at their disposal. Among that flamboyance, they had their umbrella man, Ambati Rayudu, who rescued the team on several occasions.
Raydu played a crucial role in the team's success in their first two IPL victories and in the third victory, he hardly played before the playoffs as he lost his place to Nitish Rana after suffering an injury early in the season.
When he replaced the Delhi youngster in the playing XI in the playoffs, he hardly made a contribution to the team. Though he was very consistent in the few domestic matches he played this season. In spite of that, Mumbai should not retain him as they have better names at the top of their priority list.
They can afford to let Rayudu move to the auction pool and get him back in the IPL auction rather than letting go of someone like Rohit Sharma or Jasprit Sharma or the Pandya brothers.
