IPL 2016: 5 Indian players who can stage a comeback to the national team

Ambati Rayudu

There has never been any doubt over the talent of Ambati Rayudu, but there has always been question marks about his temperament. He led India U-19s to the final in the Bangladesh in 2004, but his career never took off.

He played for the rebel and now defunct ICL, and that took away many years of cricket from him, but he was back in the loop in 2010 where he scored fluently for the Mumbai Indians. An aesthetically pleasing player Rayudu has provided moments of brilliance but lack of consistency has robbed him off a certain place in any format. He has been a key player for the Mumbai Indians over the years and has batted everwhere in the batting order with considerable success.

A good performance here might give him another chance to stake a claim for the National team and needs to churn out the runs and that too with consistency.
