Rayudu commenced his IPL journey in 2010 as a member of the Mumbai Indians (MI) squad and remained with the team until the 2017 season, contributing to their success in clinching th꧋ree titles. Subsequently, he was acquired by CSK for the 2018 season, during which he showcased his exceptional form by amassing 60🐻2 runs in 16 innings, averaging an impressive 43. Furthermore, Rayudu achieved his personal best of 100 not out in the same edition.
In 2022, Rayudu made a premature announcement about his retirement from the IPL, following his fifth season with CSK. He took to Twitter to share the news, stating, “I am happy to announce that this will be my last ipl. I have had a wonderful time playing it and being a part of 2 great teams for 13 years. Would love to sincerely thank Mumbai Indians and Csk for the wonderful journey.” However, the 36-year-old deleted his 𝔉tweet in just a few min🌟utes after intervention from the CSK management.
