IPL 2018: 4 underrated cricketers who are having their best ever campaign

#1 Ambati Rayudu (Chennai Super Kings)

At 32, Ambati Rayudu has come of age to deliver his best

Ambati Rayudu is the most experienced player on this list. He has played 119 IPL games and has donned the Indian colours 40 times. He has an exceptional average of over 50 in ODIs.

At 32 years of age, an INR 2.2 crores contract from a team filled with aged cricketers looked like a lucrative pre-retirement scheme. But the man from Guntur is scripting a new story; one which epitomizes the proverb 'old is gold'. Rayudu has scored 201 runs for MS Dhoni's team in just 5 games at an average of over 40. While his IPL career strike rate is 128, the number this year has crossed the 160-mark.
