Chennai Super Kings (CSK) predicted playing XI for their first game in IPL 2020
As soon as clearance is obtained from the Indian Government regarding moving IPL overseas for the current edition, the preparations are expected to get underway as quickly as possible.
4. Ambati Rayudu
Ambati Rayudu’s career for CSK in IPL has been a mirror reflection of his fortunes in the national team. After being released by Mumbai ahead of the 2018 season, he was roped in by the yellow army and it was a time when he started making his place as a regular player in the international arena as well. He was the most successful Chennai batsman in the 2018 edition as he knocked up 602 runs and was instrumental in his team’s victorious campaign.
In the 2019 season, his performance dipped and so did his chances of representing India in the World Cup. Eventually, he was discarded from the team after a bunch of controversies. Although, it appears that Rayudu has not lost his mojo yet and will be rearing to go after all the bowling attacks as soon as the current edition of the tournament gets underway.
In 147 IPL matches, Rayudu has scored 3300 runs at an average of 28.7 with a strike rate of 125.95. He has 18 fifties and a hundred to his name. He can also double up as an opener in case there are any unanticipated injuries in the team.
