In an intriguing twist in the world of cricket, seasoned player Ambati Rayudu might be on the verge of joining South Africa’s Joburg Super Kings for the upcoming SA20 season. This speculation follows Rayudu’s recent signing with St Kitts & Nevis Patriots for the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) season, a surprising shift from his earlier plan to feature in Major League Cricket (MLC) in the US due to personal reasons.
Famed for his association with Chennai Super Kings, Rayudu’s potential move to Joburg Super Kings has created a buzz. Kasi Viswanathan, representing Super Kings, revealed ongoing discussions with Joburg Super Kings’ captain Faf du Plessis and coach Stephen Fleming regarding Rayudu’s involvement. While not confirmed, this development holds promise.
Having played a vital role in Chennai Super Kings’ recent IPL triumph, Rayudu’s new venture sees him replacing Tristan Stubbs at St Kitts & Nevis Patriots for the 2023 CPL season. Mahesh Ramani, St Kitts & Nevis Patriots’ chairman, lauded Rayudu’s championship experience and its potential impact on the team’s quest for another CPL title.
