Ambati Rayudu, the Indian cricketer who recently retired from all forms of Indian cricket after the IPL 2023 final, is set to represent TSK in the MLC. The 37-year-old will join forces with New Zealand players and his CSK teammates Devon Conway and Mitchell Santner. Rayudu’s inclusion in the MLC marks him as the first Indian player to participate in the league after representing the national team.

The TSK squad also boasts the talents of Dwayne Bravo, David Miller, Daniel Sams, and Gerald Coetzee as part of their overseas contingent.
