About Ambati Rayudu
Ambati Rayudu is a former India batter best known for his remarkable record in the Indian Premier League. Born in 1985 in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, he was a stylish right-handed middle-order batter who could also keep wicket and bowl off spin. He won the IPL a record six times, a feat matched only by Rohit Sharma, and has since moved into commentary and public life.
Career highlights
Rayudu began his first-class career with Hyderabad at just 16 and played for India A the following year. He captained India at the 2004 Under-19 World Cup and was widely tipped for a long international career. After a difficult period that included disputes and a spell with the unofficial Indian Cricket League, he returned to official cricket in 2009 under the BCCI amnesty.
Strong performances for Baroda and Mumbai Indians earned him an India call-up, and he played 61 limited-overs internationals between 2013 and 2019, including the 2018 Asia Cup-winning campaign. In the IPL he won three titles with Mumbai Indians and three with Chennai Super Kings, including a match-winning role in CSK’s 2018 season.
