Ambati Rayudu IPL 2023 Price

Chennai Super Kings decided to retain Ambati Rayudu as one of their batters prior to the IPL 2023 auctions. In the 2022 IPL auction, Chennai engaged in a fierce bidding war with Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad to secure Rayudu’s services for INR 6.75. Ultimately, CSK emerged victorious and they retained the experienced player for the same amount for the upcoming 2023 IPL season. Rayudu has been an integral member of CSK’s setup and surely is one of the greats of the IPL.
