'Yeh khushi ke aansu hai' - Fans emotional as Ambati Rayudu was left to tears following CSK's win in IPL 2023 final

Gujarat Titans (GT) were defeated by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the tournament's 16th final, which took place at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, giving Chennai Super Kings their fifth IPL championship. They completed the task of scoring the required 171 runs in 15 overs, with contributions from all the batters. However, it was Ambati Rayudu's final game.

He made an announcement prior to the finale, so when he took the pitch to bat, all eyes were on him. Eight balls and 19 runs from Rayudu, including one four and two sixes, were scored. However, a video of Rayudu crying throughout the game and receiving comfort from the players has since gone viral. Fans expressed their opinions on social media after seeing that.

Ambati Rayudu had an overall underwhelming IPL 2023 with 158 runs in 16 games

Speaking of Rayudu in the IPL 2023, he amassed 158 runs in 16 games. He now has six IPL titles to his name after winning this one. The seasoned batter has played for Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians (MI). He has scored 4348 runs in 204 games, averaging 28.23, including 22 fifty-pluses and one century. He initially had trouble timing the ball in this match as Rayudu had three runs off four balls. After that, he smacked Mohit Sharma for six, four, and six in three straight deliveries before being dismissed on the following one.

The seasoned batter expressed his joy in Chennai Super Kings' victory by saying, “It’s a fairytale finish. I couldn’t have asked for more. I’m fortunate to have played in really great sides. I can smile for the rest of my life. With all the hard work I’ve done in the last 30 years, I’m happy I got to finish on this note. I would really like to thank my family, my father. Without them, this wouldn’t have been possible.” He has won three titles as part of Chennai Super Kings, in 2018, 2021, and 2023.

Here is how fans have reacted to the viral photos:
