3 players who can replace Ambati Rayudu in CSK for IPL 2024
Ambati Rayudu retired from the Indian Premier League after clinching the IPL 2023 title for Chennai.
1. Shubhranshu Senapati
Shubhranshu Senapati is an experienced name in domestic cricket as he is active for Odisha since 2016. Going through his experience in the domestic circuit, the CSK team management picked him up for INR 20 lakh at the 2022 IPL auction. So far, he hasn’t got his debut game for Super Kings.
Rayudu's retirement has created a vacuum and to fill that, Senapati could be a perfect candidate as he could utilise his precious domestic experience and strengthen the CSK batting unit as Rayudu did during his five-year tenure. In his domestic T20 career, the 26-year-old Senapati has played 32 matches, in which he has scored 817 runs in 30 innings at a strike rate of 119.79.
His List A cricket record is decent as the 26-year-old has amassed 1131 runs with a couple of tons and seven fifties in 34 innings of 38 games, at a strike rate of 74.40. In the 2024 IPL instalment, CSK might give him an opportunity to exhibit his skills and bolster their middle order along with Shivam Dube, Moeen Ali, and Ajinkya Rahane.
