His hard work has already started showing results, with Hyderabad winning three matches and playing out one draw in the first phase of the Ranji Trophy season. The team currently sits at the top of Elite Group B with 20 points.
However, Ambati Rayudu believes that the real success will come from building a strong system rather than just winning matches. Rayudu said, as quoted by Sportstar, “I wouldn't read too much into the results as of now, but I'm very happy with the way the systems are set. " Most importantly, the boys are very confident and glad there is something to look forward to.”
Explaining his plan, Rayudu said, “When they wake up, if they don't have a game, they need to be worried: What am I going to do today? We wanted to get that feeling back.”

Rayudu has also focused on making team selections more transparent. He wanted selectors who could take independent decisions instead of simply agreeing with everyone. Every selection and omission is now recorded through signed documents, explaining the reasons behind each decision.
He also explained that the written records would help the HCA avoid selection mistakes and review decisions whenever required. Comparing the system with the Decision Review System, the former CSK batter said, “It's just like a Decision Review System (DRS), which helps us avoid blunders. If something comes up in the future, there is always documentation.”
Ambati Rayudu said that improving the quality of pitches at Gymkhana Ground was another major challenge for him. Hyderabad's flat pitches have often been a concern, and Rayudu wanted to prepare better surfaces that could offer something to both batters and bowlers.
In one of the most interesting parts of his journey, Rayudu revealed that he brought his own tractor and even sent a worker from his farm to help prepare the ground at Gymkhana Ground.
Three types of soil used to transform Gymkhana Ground
The selection of soil was also done carefully, with Rayudu and head curator Mukesh Kumar visiting nearby districts early in the morning. Three types of soil have been used for the pitches, including a natural mixture of red and black soil from the Vikarabad region.
Rayudu wants pitches that provide a fair contest between bat and ball. He believes a good domestic pitch should allow teams to bat for around 90 overs while keeping all four innings competitive. He does not want the toss to become the biggest factor in deciding a match.
