Rayudu’s Always CSK Mi XI: para abrir Sachin-Rohit, el Dhoni califica a Dhoni, un jugador influenciado como un jugador de influencia

Former Indian cricketer Ambati Rayudu has included seven Mumbai Indians legends in his CSK-MI all-time playing XI. The batter has been a part of both the teams in the past, having played eight seasons with MI and 6 with CSK. It looks like Rayudu has lost no love for Mumbai Indians as his combined XI was clearly dominated by MI stars.

Rayudu’s all-time CSK x MI XI:

1. Sachin Tendulkar
2. Rohit Sharma
3. Suresh Raina
4. Suryakumar Yadav
5. Kieron Pollard
6. MS Dhoni
7. Ravindra Jadeja
8. Dwayne Bravo
9. Jasprit Bumrah
10. Lasith Malinga
11. Harbhajan Singh
Impact player: Ambati Rayudu

Rayudu picked the legendary Sachin Tendulkar as his opener in the combined XI and the Hitman Rohit Sharma as his partner. Mr. IPL Suresh Raina was his third pick followed by SKY. Pollard and Dhoni, two of the best finishers in IPL, were next on Rayudu’s list. All-rounders Jadeja and Bravo were picked 7th and 8th respectively.

Bumrah, Malinga and Harbhajan Singh, all three MI stalwarts, were picked as the bowlers. Rayudu decided to name himself as an impact player.

Ever sine making his IPL debut in 2009, Rayudu delivered consistently with the bat, both for MI and CSK. His best season came in 2018 when he ammassed 602 runs. That whirwind season saw him get very close to being picked in India’s 2019 ODI World Cup squad, only to be left out in the last-minute. He continued playing till 2023 and called it a day after CSK lifted their 5th title in that edition.
