Ambati Rayudu criticises senior Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) players on the Star Sport post-match show Ambati Rayudu criticized Super Star culture in RCB. pic.twitter.com/kC3uDZf0wC — Manoj Tiwari (@ManojTiwariIND) April 4, 2024 Following Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s 28-run defeat at the hands of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Ambati Rayudu came heavily on the Challengers’ senior players and bowling unit. The former India batter said that RCB bowlers splurge big runs while bowling and during batting, no big names step up and deliver in the crunch situations. He also added that this cycle has been going on since the inception of the team in 2008. He said “I feel their bowling always gives over-par runs and batting performs under par. No big-name batter is seen playing for RCB when they are under pressure. Such teams never win. This is why they have not won the IPL for so many years.” 3.

The toss went into RR skipper Sanju Samson’s favour and he elected to field first. Following Samson’s chat with the host and commentator Sanjay Manjrekar, Pandya held the mike but most spectators at the stadium booed him. However, this time, Manjrekar intervened and told the crowd to “behave” in a stern voice. 2.
