Anil Kumble on Ambati Rayudu: Star batsman Ambati Radu, who was part of the champion Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2023, said goodbye to cricket completely after the final match played against Gujarat Titans in the tournament. Radu retired from all forms of cricket. In the final match, Radu played an important inning of 19 runs in 8 balls for the team. Meanwhile, former Indian head coach Anil Kumble called Radu’s selection in the World Cup 2019 a huge mistake.
Ambati Radu won the trophy a total of 6 times in his IPL career as a player. In this, he was a part of Chennai Super Kings (2018, 2021 and 2023) three times and Mumbai Indians (2013, 2015 and 2017) three times. The then Indian captain Virat Kohli had also backed Ambati Radu to be selected in the ODI World Cup (2019), but at that time Vijay Shankar was made a part of Team India in place of Radu.
Talking about this on ‘Jio Cinema’, former Indian head coach Anil Kumble said, “Radue should have played the 2019 World Cup. there’s no doubt about it. This was a big mistake. You groomed him for that role for so long and his name disappeared from the team. It was amazing.”
Radu was not included in the team even in place of injured players
For the World Cup, the team management had chosen Vijay Shankar in place of Radu and described him as a player with three-dimensional abilities (all three abilities). However, even after Vijay Shankar and Shikhar Dhawan were injured, Radu was not included in the team. Shankar and Dhawan were replaced by Rishabh Pant and Mayank Agarwal. Seeing all this, Radu tweeted at that time, “Just ordered a new set of 3D glasses to watch the World Cup.”
Captain Kohli told the solution of number 4
Let us tell you that before the ODI World Cup 2019 in 2018, Indian captain Virat Kohli told Ambati Radu to be the solution to the number four problem in Team India. However, even after all this, Radu was not made a part of Team India in the Team World Cup.
