Ambati Rayudu’s international career has been stop start, and with the limited overs team having some real power hitters in the ranks at the moment his comeback seems highly unlikely. There has never been questioning about his talent, but it has been consistency which hasn’t been best at times. Despite all these Rayudu has a pretty impressive ODI record and has already amassed more than 1,000 runs at a staggering average of 50.
He has been a temperamental character both on and off the field, and his antics haven’t quite amazed the cricket fans around the world. Even yesterday he had an ugly mishap with a senior citizen on Hyderabad road which didn’t go down well with his fans and supporters who lashed out at him for a un sportsmanship behavior.
It has been learned that he was going to the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium for a match and had an altercation with a senior citizen who perhaps breached his way for an unknown reason. The scenario is not clear at the moment, but as far as Rayudu is concerned, he must learn to behave properly. It is not the first time Rayudu is involved in a brawl or a controversy as during an IPL match couple of years ago he participated in a heated argument with his Mumbai Indians teammate Harbhajan Singh.
It was a game against the Rising Pune Supergiant, and Harbhajan was bowling when a shot hit by a batsman went towards the covers region. It got struck with venom, but in international standards you expect a player to save that boundary especially when in the boundary ropes. Instead, Rayudu despite giving a valiant effort couldn’t quite keep the boundary and Harbhajan weren’t happy with his efforts and gave a mouthful to him.
Rayudu could have acted sensibly given Harbhajan is his senior, and he should have saved the ball, but instead, Rayudu went charging towards Harbhajan and was seen speaking in an animated manner. Harbhajan tried to calm things down and put an arm around his neck, but he still went away from the scene.
