Ambati Rayudu who hadn’t played competitive cricket for a while came into bat at the same position where he was supposed to bat for India in the World Cup. He came in when the score was 6-2 in two overs. He not only faced the fire from the MI bowlers but also started taking them on and went to on score the first fifty of the tournament.

He scored 71 off 48 balls with three sixes and six fours. He got out before finishing the game but his contribution was more than enough for the CSK team to win the game. As a result, Ambati Rayudu won the Man of the Match record and created a unique record.
