Clearing the Air: Ambati Rayudu’s Response to Sunil Gavaskar’s Criticism in IPL 2023

In IPL 2023, Chennai Super Kings’ senior batsman, Ambati Rayudu, is not looking in rhythm. The CSK team has played 8 matches this season, and Rayudu has only contributed 83 runs with his bat. Meanwhile, when he tweeted about his recent form, people linked it to a reply to the great batsman Sunil Gavaskar. Actually, before this tweet, Sunil Gavaskar had given his opinion on Rayudu’s poor performance, and after Rayudu’s tweet came out, some people linked it with Gavaskar’s strong reaction.

Let me tell you that the Chennai Super Kings team had to face defeat against the Rajasthan Royals in their last match. In this match, Ambati Rayudu once again came to the crease as an impact player, but he got out without opening an account. 

Gavaskar, while commenting, said that “You should also be fielding. You can’t just come to bat and start hitting the ball as soon as you come. “ No fielding, no scoring.”

After this, Rayudu wrote on Twitter, “Ups and downs are an important part of life and sports. We have to stay positive and keep working hard, and things will turn around. Results are not always the measure of your efforts. So always keep laughing and enjoy the process.” Some fans linked it to Gavaskar’s comment and started saying that Rayudu has replied to the great batsman Gavaskar.

However, when Rayudu came to know about this, he was surprised. He said that his tweet has nothing to do with Gavaskar’s comment. Clarifying the matter in another tweet

He said, “What nonsense… My tweet has nothing to do with the comment of the great Mr. Gavaskar (Sunil). His opinion is fully respected, and as far as fielding is concerned, a player does not decide whether he wants to field or not.”
