2. Ambati Rayudu (CSK)

In the last games against SRH, Ambati Rayudu came in to bat at No. 4 in the eighth over. In need of quick runs, Rayudu carried on his good form and did not let the demotion in the batting order affect his game. Rayudu’s effort was praised highly because he initiated the flow of runs in a situation when things appeared bleak.

Rayudu completed his 15th IPL half-century on the second ball of the 15th over with a single to long on off Shakib Al Hasan. He got out in the 17th over, scoring 79 (37) with the help of nine fours and four sixes. He can be very lethal against RCB as well.
