Middle-order batter Ambati Rayudu will not be a part of the Chennai Super Kings outfit in IPL 2024. He retired from IPL cricket after winning an IPL trophy with the franchise last season which was CSK’s fifth overall in IPL history.

Chennai Super Kings beat the Gujarat Titans by five wickets with Rayudu playing an important cameo of 19 off 8 balls in the run chase. CSK needed four off the final ball with Ravindra Jadeja hitting it away for a boundary. CSK and Mumbai Indians are now two of the most successful franchises in the IPL with 10 titles between them winning five each.

“It’s a fairytale finish and I couldn’t have asked for more. It’s unbelievable, really fortunate to have played in some great sides. This win is something I will remember for the rest of my life, for all the hard work in the last 30 years, happy that it finished on this note. I would like to take this moment to thank my family and thank my father, without him I wouldn’t have been here today” said Rayudu after his farewell game in the final.

Meanwhile, in a recent conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia on the latter’s podcast named The Ranveer Show (TRS), Ratud spoke about Chennai’s rivalry with the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL. He also said that as a player he enjoyed beating the fellow South Indian franchise.
