Former Indian cricketer turned commentator Ambati Rayudu took an indirect dig at Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and their former captain Virat Kohli following Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 Final at the Chepauk Stadium ജin Chennai on Sunday (May 26).
Ambati Rayudu’s tussle with RCB in the IPL 2024
Rayudu, who has been critical of RCB of late, expressed his disappointment over the team’s failure to clinch the IPL trophy despite numerous attempts. Using his social media platform, Rayudu, earlier, slammed RCB’s management for what he perceived as poor decision-making, particulꦦarly in releasing talented players and acquiring individuals whose priorities seemed more aligned with personal milestones rather than the team’s success.
Emphasizing team contributions: Indirect dig at Virat Kohli
Now After KKR emerged victorious, Rayudu underscored the vital roles played by senior players like Sunil Narine, Andre Russell and Mitchell Starc in KKR’s triumphant campaign. He highlighted these seasoned campaigners’ collective effort and selfless contributions, ꦬsuggesting that their commitment to the team’s cause was instrumental in securing the IPL title.
“Congratulations to the KKR team for really standing up for stalwarts like Narine, Russell, and Starc, and also contributing their share in the team’s win. That’s how a team wins the IPL. We have seen this over the years. It’s not the Orange Cap that wins you the IPL but it is the contributions like 300 runs each (from many players),” Rayudu said on Star Sports.

Rayudu went on to imply that individual accolades, such as wiཧnning the Orange Cap, do not necessarily translate into IPL glory. Despite Kohli’s exceptional performance in IPL 2024, where he amassed 7♔41 runs, including a century and five fifties, at an impressive average of 61.75 in 15 matches, Rayudu suggested that the focus on individual achievements may have overshadowed the team’s objectives.
