Ambati Rayudu:
Ambati Rayudu story starts in reverse where IPL comes before international career. He owes his career to IPL. All his efforts at the domestic level never brought him enough success. However, the IPL recognised him as a reliable talent capable to turning matches on his own. His prolific run scoring abilities got him an IPL contract in 2010 with Mumbai Indians. Ever since, he has grown as a highly reputed player and remains an important part of the team ever since. His fine run for Mumbai Indians translated into a place in the national squad in 2014 and he made his debut against Zimbabwe in 2013. Unfortunately, he hasn’t able to cement his place in the limited overs team. The reason being largely due to strong competition. In his short international career, he has played 40 matches for India as opposed to 109 IPL games he has played across 8 seasons.
