Ambati Rayudu : Even in IPL 2024, the condition of Royal Challengers Bangalore is the same as in the last 16 seasons. RCB has played four matches in IPL 2024, out of which it has lost three matches. In this season of IPL, RCB has lost two matches on its home ground, while except Mumbai Indians, all the other teams have won on their home ground. Speaking on this crushing defeat of RCB, Ambati Rayudu revealed why the RCB team has failed in the last 16 seasons.
After the defeat of RCB, the former cricketer targeted the team fiercely.
Former Indian cricketer Ambati Rayudu said after the match between RCB and LSG, “RCB's bowling always gives more runs than expected and batting always performs poorly. You see who is batting in the middle order of RCB. Your young Indian batsmen and one Dinesh Karthik.” Where are your famous players, your international players, the people who should be taking the pressure? Everyone is in the dressing room. It's not happening today, but that's been the story of this team for the last 16 years.”
'Celebrity players eat cream from cake'
Rayudu further said, “When there is pressure, there is no big player in RCB. All the young players play at the back and the famous players play forward. They are icing on the cake. Such a team never wins. This is the reason why these people have not won IPL for so many years.” Ambati Rayudu has indeed raised the right point as RCB have Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli as openers. Cameron Green and Glenn Maxwell also play in the top 4 or at most top 5 and players like Anuj Rawat and Mahipal Lomror play in the middle order.
