#2 Ambati Rayudu - In a quest to carve an image for himself

The form of Ambati Rayudu has been the biggest positive for the Dhoni-led CSK side. The failure of players like Suresh Raina and Faf du Plessis have paved the way for Rayudu to show his class with the bat. The Andhra-born guy has been instrumental in stepping up to the task in adverse situations for his team.
In the nine matches played so far, Rayudu has scored 391 runs to be the highest runs scorer for the men in yellow in this season. He also currently holds the honour for bagging the Orange Cap.
In his blitz at the top of the order, Rayudu has played with an attacking approach to do the bulk of the scoring for his side. He has held the innings at several times and would look to carry his form in the business end of the tournament.
