#1 Ambati Rayudu
The 32-year-old right-hander has been a revelation for the Chennai Super Kings this year. Part of the Mumbai Indians from 2010 to 2017, he was acquired by the Men in Yellow, and performed wonderfully with the bat at the top of the order.
His consistency has been one of the focal points for CSK's success this year and in spite of being pushed down the order, he has been contributing with the bat. He's part of the ODI series, but finds no mention in the T20I side.
