After leaving all forms of Indian cricket, Ambati Rayudu is preparing for his second inning. While Rayudu will continue to play in the Major League Cricket in the United States, it is anticipated that the former India player will pursue politics as he reportedly intends to run for Lok Sabha.
Recently, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, the president of the YSRCP and the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, met with Ambati Rayudu twice.
The Times of India reported that Jagan wants Ambati Rayudu to be a candidate in the next polls but hasn’t decided if he will run in the assembly or Lok Sabha elections.
According to the report’s further sources, senior party officials believe Rayudu should run for office in the Ponnur or Guntur West constituencies for assembly elections and Machilipatnam for the Lok Sabha.
The 37-year-old Rayudu had praised Jagan and stated that the chief minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, “is a huge inspiration for those entering politics. Instead of focusing on one sector, he is leading progress across the board.
After winning IPL 2023 with Chennai Super Kings, Rayudu announced his retirement from all forms of Indian cricket.
Rayudu though will continue playing T20 cricket elsewhere as he’s set to take part in the MCL where he will represent Texas Super Kings, a team owned by CSK.
