A day after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced India’s squad for the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, leaving the probable prospect for the number 4 position Ambati Rayudu out from the 15-man squad.
In the ODI tours of Australia and New Zealan🧜d earlier this year, Rayudu averaged 42.80 from seven games. Then when Australia toured India in March, he struggled with🐻 scores of 13, 18 and 2. The management then dropped him from the XI for the fourth and fifth ODIs.
Meanwhile, all-rou꧋nder Vijay Shankar performed well since the Auꦏstralia and New Zealand tour and therefore, he grabbed the much-debated number four slot for the World Cup.
Everyone, however, was waiting for Rayudu to comment on his World Cup snub and the man has come up with a sarcastic message on Twitter. He indirectly took a dig mentioning about ordering the 3D glasses to watch the mega-event from home. “Just Ordered a new set of 3d glasses to watch the world cup,” Rayudu’s tweet read.
Ju🐟st Ordered a new set of 3d glasses to watch the world cup 😉😋♑..

MSK Prasad gave the reason to leave Ambati Rayudu out of India’s World Cup squad
When the BCCI chief of selectors MSK Prasad was asked the question a🃏bout not picking Ambati Rayudu for the number 4 spot in the World Cup, despite giving him a decently long r𒈔un at the spot.
“After the Champions Trophy, we tried quite a few people at number 4. We gave a few more chances to Rayudu. What Vijay Shankar brings is three dimensional. We are looking at him at no. 4 to begin with,” the chief selector said while addressing the media.
