CSK vs SRH: Why is Ambati Rayudu Not Playing Today's IPL Match? Check CSK Playing 11

The massive news update coming from the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) camp is that they are not playing their senior Indian batsman Ambati Rayudu in their sixth match of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) being hosted at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

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

During the toss, it was revealed that Ambati Rayudu has not been included in the starting CSK playing XI for this CSK vs SRH IPL 2023 match on Friday. But, the senior Indian batsman is definitely fit and even part of the five substitute members out of which one can be used as an Impact Player at any moment in the encounter. Rayudu has not looked in the best of forms with the bat so far in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2023 season as he has scored just 74 runs from 5 matches at a strike-rate of 148. However, he is very much likely to be drafted as the Impact Player during Chennai Super Kings’ innings with the bat in this match against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

“We’ll bowl first. This pitch is 50-50 because it is slightly cloudy. There might be dew so always better to chase. All packed together on the points table, we need to do well and not look at the table at this moment. Combination wise, we have been fortunate because we haven’t had all players available. The headaches start later when everyone becomes available,” said Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni during the toss.
