#3 Ambati Rayudu - 2018
Ambati Rayudu is an IPL star. He has been part of the IPL since 2010. He represented Mumbai Indians for most part of his IPL career and was part of three successful campaigns with the franchise.
In 2018, Rayudu was pushed into the auctions and was picked up by CSK for 2.2 crores. It was a very good price for the skills he brings to the table.
Rayudu was asked to open the innings and collaborated with Shane Watson for the first time. The duo became a deadly opening combo for CSK, smashing bowlers around and giving blistering starts to CSK throughout the tournament.
Rayudu finished with his best IPL returns, scoring a mammoth 602 runs in 16 matches at an average of 43 and at a strike rate of 149.75. He also scored a hundred and 3 fifties with a highest of 100*
Rayudu will be a vital cog in CSK's wheel of batting in the 2019 IPL.
