Former CSK star Ambati Rayudu quits Jagan Reddy’s YSR Congress

Former Team India and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) star Ambati Rayudu on Saturday quit the ruling YSR Congress in Andhra Pradesh.  

The former right-handed batsman was inducted into the party in the presence of Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, Deputy Chief Minister K Narayana Swamy and Rajampeta Lok Sabha member P Mithun Reddy last month.

“This is to inform everyone that I have decided to quit the YSRCP Party and stay out of politics for a little while. Further action will be conveyed in due course of time. Thank You,” wrote Rayudu on his social media account X (earlier known as Twitter).

Recently, Rayudu had reflected regarding the difference between the fans of Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings.

“As a player I would say, they support Mumbai Indians more than one player or X player or Y player. They are always for Mumbai Indians. Chennai Super Kings is slightly different. Chennai are: Dhoni’s fans first and then CSK. If Mahi bhai is not there, don’t think the stadium would be half full. They are all Mahi bhai fans,” Rayudu had said in a recent interview.
