Ambati Rayudu is a right-handed middle-order batsman, right-arm off break bowler, and an occasional wicket-keeper. He made his international debut in 2013; he has played 34 ODIs and six T20 Internationals for India so far. He represents Vidarbha in domestic cricket and Mumbai Indians in the IPL (Indian Premier League). He was last seen playing for India in a June 2016 ODI with Zimbabwe.
Rayudu's case isn't the first involving an Indian cricketer. Navjot Singh Sidhu was convicted in a 1988 road rage case involving the death of a person while former pacer Venkatesh Prasad too got into a legal tussle with an ex-MLA in Bengaluru.
