The pre-signed players by the teams feature former Indian superstars Ambati Rayudu, and Yusuf Pathan. While Bangla Tigers roped in the explosive all-rounder Pathan, Delhi Bulls have signed on the ever-dynamic batter Rayudu.
Rayudu recently met the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. However, whether he will contest the assembly polls or Lok Sabha is not clear.
After Rayudu deleted the tweet, fans were left wondering why he retracted his original retirement announcement. Rayudu was brought back by Chennai in the IPL Mega Auction for INR 6.2 crores and has scored 271 runs in 12 matches at an average of 27.10 and strike-rate of 124.31, making him the side's third-highest run-getter in IPL 2022.
Rayudu is sharing this milestone with two of his teammates as well in the name of former teammate Suresh Raina (5529) and former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Ambati Rayudu went on to post a 115-run stand for the third wicket with Faf du Plessis (58 not out). Rayudu was declared man of the match for his 72.
