3) Ambati Rayudu
Ambati Rayudu has scored 60 runs in the four games he has played so far. Although he has played as an impact player, he has not been able to convert his starts into big scores. Rayudu has struggled to rotate the strike and has scores like 12, 27*, 20*, 1 in this season. With CSK’s top order in good form, Rayudu’s role in the team may be reduced, and he may not get a chance to make a significant contribution in this match as well. Therefore, it is beneficial to avoid selecting him in your fantasy team for today’s match between RCB and CSK.
