Profile
Ambati Rayudu was touted as India's next great batting hope ever
since he started training at the National Cricket Academy in 2001. A
pint-sized, fluent strokemaker with a compact technique, he blazed an
unbeaten 177 - after opening the batting - as India's colts completed a
clean sweep of a one-day series in England in 2002. The Ranji Trophy
season that followed, his first, was also exceptional - including a
double-century and a hundred in the same match against Andhra - though
he tailed off towards the end of an arduous campaign. He was captain of India's Under-19 team and led the side to the semis of the U-19 World Cup in Bangladesh in 2004. However, his batting since then hasn't matched initial expectations; he has failed to earn a call-up for the national team and has been overtaken by several of his U-19 team-mates, including Irfan Pathan, Suresh Raina and Dinesh Karthik.
