Should have never deleted it tbh 😭😭😭 https://t.co/Aks7UAUdSKAmbati Rayudu has scored 131 runs in 10 innings of IPL 2023 so farAmbati Rayudu announced his retirement from IPL last season but reversed his decision quickly. The Chennai Super Kings retained him for the 2023 season, and they have backed him a lot. Rayudu has been a part of the CSK team in all 13 matches so far, scoring 131 runs in 10 innings.The veteran Indian batter has had a decent strike rate of around 130. However, his batting average is less than 20, and he has not recorded a single 30+ score in the season so far. It will be interesting to see if CSK retain him in their playing XI for the next match against the Delhi Capitals.
