5 unsung heroes from IPL 2016

Rayudu had a great start to IPL 2016

#4 – Ambati Rayudu

Ambati Rayudu was one of Mumbai Indians’ most consistent players during what was a disappointing IPL campaign for the defending champions. In 12 innings this season, Rayudu scored 334 runs at an average of 30.36 and a strike rate of 120.14. He also had two fifties to his name.

Rayudu finished the season as Mumbai's second highest run-getter, only behind captain Rohit Sharma. Although the 30-year-old lost his way in the second half of the tournament, his valuable contributions at No. 3 were vital in Mumbai's early season wins.
