IPL 2018: Players separated from their long-term teams

#3 Ambati Rayudu

Ambati Rayudu has been an unsung hero in Mumbai's middle order

Ambati Rayudu has been an unsung hero in the Mumbai Indians' vast success over the years. Rayudu joined Mumbai Indians in 2010 and was spectacular for them as they finished runners-up to Chennai Super Kings, which is coincidentally his new franchise.

Rayudu has been a part of countless crucial partnerships, especially with Kieron Pollard. He has amassed close to 2500 runs in blue and has never played for any other franchise. It will hurt the Mumbai Indians to see their loyal middle order batsman feature for their arch rivals, Chennai Super Kings.
