Backlash ensues after Ambati Rayudu’s comment on Ravindra Jadeja in T20 World Cup squad

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Former Indian cricketer Ambati Rayudu has sparked controversy by questioning the selectors’ decision to exclude left-handed batsman Rinku Singh from India’s 15-member squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Rayudu took to social media to express his disappointment, stating that there is no other batsman in the current squad who can win a match in the last few overs, apart from Ravindra Jadeja.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Rayudu criticized the selectors for prioritizing statistics over cricketing sense, emphasizing the importance of quality and cricketing ability over popularity on social media. However, his comparison between Rinku Singh and Ravindra Jadeja did not sit well with netizens, who pointed out Jadeja’s lower strike rate in T20 cricket.

Social media users slammed Rayudu for allegedly showing favoritism towards Jadeja and questioned the all-rounder’s performance in T20 matches. Despite the backlash, Rayudu stood by his statement, highlighting Rinku Singh’s potential impact in crucial moments of the game.

India’s squad for the T20 World Cup includes star players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah, with Ravindra Jadeja playing a key role as an all-rounder. Rinku Singh has been named as one of the reserves for the tournament, leaving fans and experts divided over his exclusion from the main squad. As the cricketing world awaits the start of the T20 World Cup, the debate over team selection continues to heat up.
