IPL 2019: 3 star players who can help Chennai Super Kings win the title this year

#2 Ambati Rayudu

Fortunes changed last year, will he keep up with the standards this year?

Ambati Rayudu can be considered as one of the most unfortunate players born in this era. Once considered as the "Next Big Thing" in Indian cricket, his fortune changed for worse when he joined the defunct ICL.

However, 2018 season of the Indian Premier League, saw his fortune change for good. He moved to the Chennai Super Kings after plying his trade with Mumbai Indians from 2010-2017. Ambati Rayudu was the utility man for CSK and played in multiple positions during the tournament and amassed 602 runs in 16 matches at an exceptional average of 43.01 and at a strike-rate of 149.76 last season.

His aggressive batting performance at the top order can push the pressure back on the opposition and the added motivation of booking a ticket to the World Cup can work in favor of CSK.
