Ambati Rayudu’s Witty Post Mocking RCB Sparks Online Banter

Former Indian cricketer, Ambati Rayudu, showcased his light-hearted side as he indirectly poked fun at Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on social media. Rayudu took to Instagram to share a celebratory video of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) after clinching their fifth IPL championship title, in response to RCB’s recent playoff success.

The video post featured CSK players jubilantly celebrating their fifth IPL trophy victory from the previous year. Rayudu’s humorous act was seen as a playful comeback to RCB’s triumphant reaction after eliminating CSK in this year’s IPL to secure a playoff spot.

Rayudu captioned the post, «Just a gentle reminder…», adding a touch of wit to the online banter between the two IPL teams. The former CSK batter further extended his jest by criticizing aggressive celebrations, suggesting they do not ensure victory and highlighting the importance of planning and strategy over passion alone.

In a recent interview with Star Sports, Rayudu expressed his views on RCB’s performance and the franchise’s reliance on overseas players over local Indian talent. He specifically mentioned Indian cricket icon, Virat Kohli, as the sole consistent performer in the team, emphasizing the need for more confidence in homegrown players to build a balanced squad.
