#3 Ambati Rayudu

Ambati Tirupati Rayudu, one of the prolific run-getters of the tournament, had mostly been under the shadows of the star-studded Mumbai Indians batting line-up for the first ten editions of the tournament. He has got some credit for his stellar performances during the last season playing as an opener for Chennai Super Kings. He was roped in by CSK for Rs. 2 Crores.
Opening the eleventh edition with Shane Watson, the right-hander amassed 601 runs in 16 innings at an outstanding average of 43.00 and a strike rate of nearly 150.
Someone who scored in excess of 3000 runs at an average of a touch below 30 and a more than a decent strike of over 130 in his IPL career, Rayudu is not as much lauded as the other star cricketers who have similar career stats in the tournament.
