4. Ambati Rayudu (Chennai Super Kings)
Having plied his trade for Mumbai Indians for the eight preceding seasons, Ambati Rayudu was roped in by Chennai Super Kings at the auction to add more strength to a batting line-up that already comprised the likes of M.S Dhoni, Suresh Raina, Faf du Plessis, Dwayne Bravo, Shane Watson et cetera. His captain, M.S. Dhoni’s decision to use him as an opener not only helped him enjoy the most prolific season of his IPL career, but also proved to be one of the masterstrokes which laid the foundation for a CSK triumph in the competition.

Even at 33, Rayudu’s impressive fitness levels and ability to switch batting gears almost effortlessly make him an incumbent member of the current CSK setup.
Stats: Matches 16, Runs 602, Average 43, S/R 149.75, HS 100*, three fifties, one hundred.
Most memorable performance: His maiden IPL hundred (100* from 62 balls) which helped CSK script an eight-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in Pune.
