Rayudu enjoyed a trophy-laden time with the Mumbai Indians franchise during his 7-year tenure for the Maharashtra-based side, and returns to the MI banner with his foray into the ILT20.
Rayudu made the switch to CSK in the year 2018 and plied his trade at the Chennai-based unit until he retired from the money-rich tournament after claiming the trophy with the MS Dhoni-led side in the latest edition of the IPL.
Rayudu has opted to venture into the ILT20, to be held in the United Arab Emirates, renewing his association with the MI flag.
