IPL 2018: 5 Players who are the star performers after changing teams

#2 Ambati Rayudu (Chennai Super Kings)

Rayudu was the unsung hero of Mumbai Indians and had played a vital role in team's success

Ambati Rayudu, once referred to as India’s next batting star, back in early 2000, is showing his class again in the IPL 2018 and proving that why he is rated so high. He was the wall of the Mumbai Indians (MI) batting line-up.

Last year, though Mumbai had won the title, Rayudu had an ordinary outing with the team scoring 200 runs in 7 matches. As a result, MI released him and also did not buy in the auction.

Rayudu was bought by CSK for Rs 2.2 crore and has been rejuvenated under the leadership of MS Dhoni, who gave him the opportunity to open the innings. Since then he has never looked back and scored 370 runs in 8 matches.

Besides opening, Rayudu has performed in the middle order. He is also the orange cap holder of this season and is winning matches for CSK.
