It’s worth mentioning that Rayudu had previously announced his retirement in 2022 through a tweet but later deleted it after discussions with the CSK team management.
Rayudu’s impressive IPL career spans over 200 matches, during which he has accumulated more than 4000 runs, including a memorable century. While playing for the Mumbai Indians, he showcased his versatility by taking on the role of a part-time wicketkeeper. In the 2011 season, Rayudu impressed with four half-centuries to his name.
