'To Shankar ko kyu liya iski jagah'- Twitter has a flurry of questions as Virat Kohli calls Ambati Rayudu 'the most underrated batter in IPL'

In a recent exclusive interview with Jio Cinema, Virat Kohli, the Indian cricket team captain, was asked to name the most underrated player in IPL history. Kohli named wicketkeeper-batter Ambati Rayudu as the most underrated player in IPL history, praising his abilities as a cricketer.

Kohli's choice of Rayudu as the most underrated player is not surprising, given his outstanding performances in the IPL. Rayudu has been a consistent performer in the IPL and has scored more than 3,500 runs in his IPL career, with an impressive strike rate of over 126.

Rayudu's cricketing career has been full of ups and downs. He made his international debut for India in 2013, but it was not until 2018 that he made a comeback to the national team after a string of impressive performances in domestic cricket. However, he was dropped from the 2019 World Cup squad due to a dip in form.

Kohli's praise for Rayudu is significant, as he has been criticized for his role in Rayudu's exclusion from the 2019 World Cup squad. At the time, Kohli was the captain of the Indian team, and many fans and analysts believed that Rayudu deserved a place in the squad ahead of all-rounder Vijay Shankar.

Kohli's comments on Rayudu's underrated status in the IPL are a testament to his respect for the cricketer's skills and contributions to the game. Kohli's recognition of Rayudu's talent is a reminder that there are many players who may not receive the recognition they deserve, but are still valuable contributors to the game.

Overall, Kohli's comments on Rayudu are a reflection of the camaraderie and mutual respect among cricketers, regardless of their individual team affiliations. As Kohli and Rayudu continue to play in the IPL, it will be interesting to see how their respective performances unfold and whether they can lead their teams to glory.

Here's how Twitter reacted to Virat Kohli rating Ambati Rayudu as the most underrated IPL batter:

There is a reason why Mahi made him come out of retirement and play for CSK for 1-2 years more.
He rates him very high.
