CSK vs RR: Why is Ambati Rayudu Not Playing Today’s IPL 2023 Match?

MS Dhoni once again won the toss and opted to bowl first. With the Impact Player rule in play, CSK has decided to keep Ambati Rayudu among the substitute players and increased a bowler in their eleven. Rayudu may get back into the eleven if CSK will have a stiff target to chase. Here’s what Dhoni had to say at the toss,

“We will bowl first. It may be slightly on the slower side, different from the first game. Dew may play a role and it might get better in the second innings. (On his 200th game as CSK captain in the IPL) It feels good and, also I feel the crowd has been fantastic. Also the fact that we started in the old stadium, it was very hot and humid. But now it feels like we’re playing in Switzerland. It’s good to play. We have seen cricket change – how T20 was played at that point of time till now, a lot has changed. The crowd has been fantastic. We have had injury concerns and players were unavailable, but still we have done well. Mitchell Santner and Pretorius make way for Theekshana and Moeen.”

Ambati Rayudu IPL 2023 Price

Ambati Rayudu was one of the batters who was retained by Chennai Super Kings ahead of the IPL 2023 auctions. Rayudu was picked up by Chennai in the 2022 IPL for INR 6.75 after they faced a stiff contest with Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad in the auction battle. At last, it was CSK who got the veteran’s services and he was retained for the same amount for the 2023 IPL edition.
