Ambati Rayudu, the Indian middle-order batsman has completely failed to find his golden touch back and has been one of the biggest flops for CSK this season. Despite getting ample time at the crease to settle himself, he has clearly failed to make use of it.

The 33-year-old cricketer has also been omitted from India's 15 member squad for ICC World Cup 2019 in favour of Vijay Shankar due to his below-par recent form, both in the ODI series against Australia and then in the IPL.

Rayudu has only scored 219 runs from 14 matches at an average of 19.90 and poor strike-rate of 90.49. Along with Jadhav, Rayudu is also one of the top Indian cricketers to have under-performed this season. Rayudu's failure to accelerate the innings could lead him the axe.
