Former India coach slams Ravi Shastri and Virat Kohli for ignoring CSK star throughout 2019 WC

Date:



Ambati Rayudu’s IPL profession got here to a fairytale ending as he lifted his sixth title, third for Chennai Super Kings. Rayudu, a real workhorse in Indian cricket, is believed to have underachieved in his India profession, regardless of enjoying 55 ODIs and 6 T20Is. He could not cement a everlasting place within the Playing XI, however his most well-known run with Team India was through the build-up to the 2019 World Cup. Desperately trying to find a No. 4 batter, Rayudu stepped as much as the event.

Between September 2018 and March 2019, Rayudu grew to become the reply to India’s No. 4 woes. After enjoying the IPL 2018, the place he reached his T20 batting peak by slamming 602 runs, Rayudu performed 21 ODIs in that six-month interval, scoring 639 runs, together with one century and 4 fifties.

While these had been respectable numbers, when the squad for the World Cup in England was introduced, Rayudu’s identify was surprisingly lacking. They as a substitute went forward with KL Rahul as their No. 4 and referred to as in all-rounder Vijay Shankar based mostly on his performances within the IPL that 12 months, an experiment whose layers unraveled additional because the match went alongside.

Four years faraway from that debatable name, as Rayudu referred to as time on a wonderful profession, India bowling legend Anil Kumble feels it was a blunder to not have Rayudu take the flight to England. The former India coach reckons it was an enormous miss on the then-captain Virat Kohli and coach Ravi Shastri’s half to omit Rayudu on the final minute after getting ready him for that individual function for six months.

“Rayudu should have played the 2019 World Cup. Oh yes, there’s no doubt about it. It was a huge blunder. You prepared him for that role for so long and his name just disappears from the squad. It was surprising nonetheless,” Kumble stated on Jio Cinema when the IPL 2023 remaining was stalled as a consequence of rain after the Gujarat Titans innings.

The exclusion of Rayudu from the Indian cricket crew had important penalties. Rayudu expressed his dissatisfaction with the choice by posting a controversial tweet. He ordered a brand new set of 3D glasses to observe the World Cup, mocking the previous chief selector MSK Prasad’s remark that Vijay Shankar was a “3D player.” Rayudu even introduced his retirement through the World Cup, however later retracted it. Sadly, Rayudu by no means performed for India once more, and his worldwide profession led to a mysterious method.
