Ambati Rayudu’s cricket career, meanwhile, has gone through a rollercoaster in the last one year or so. At the beginning of 2019, he was an integral part of the Indian team and was looking set to be in India’s squad for the World Cup. However, things changed in a blink of an eye after he failed to impress in the home series against Australia.

He was not picked in the squad as the selectors surprisingly selected Vijay Shankar. And when the likes of Rishabh Pant and Mayank Agarwal were added to the World Cup squad during the tournament as injury replacements, Ambati Rayudu sensationally announced his retirement.

He, however, overturned his decision a couple of months later. He represented Hyderabad in Vijay Hazare and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy before deciding to skip the previous edition of the Ranji Trophy due to politics in team-selection.
