A few days after Ambati Rayudu‘s viral post criticizing Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) following their loss to Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2024 Eliminator, the former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) star has offered a conciliatory tweet with suggestions for RCB’s future.
Rayudu’s Viral Criticism and Aftermath
Rayudu’s initial post on Instagram, which read, “Just a kind reminder from the 5-time champions,” mocking RCB after their elimination, drew severe backlash from fans. The criticism came after RCB’s disappointing performance, where they were ousted from the tournament by Rajasthan Royals. The post was seen as adding salt to the wounds of RCB supporters, who have long waited for their team to clinch an IPL title.
Rayudu’s Suggestion for RCB
In an apparent damage-control move, Rayudu took to Twitter to empathize with RCB fans and offer constructive advice. His tweet read:
“My heart truly goes out to all the RCB supporters who have passionately supported the team over the years. If only the management and the leaders had the team’s interests ahead of individual milestones, RCB would have won multiple titles. Just remember how many fantastic players have been let go of. Force your management to bring players who will put the team’s interests first. A great new chapter can start from the mega auction.”
Rayudu emphasized the importance of prioritizing the team’s success over individual achievements and suggested that RCB should focus on building a cohesive team during the upcoming mega auction for IPL 2025.
Backstory and Future Prospects
The controversy began when Rayudu’s post following CSK’s league match loss against RCB on May 18 at the Chinnaswamy Stadium went viral. The criticism and trolling that ensued prompted Rayudu to address the situation and provide his perspective on how RCB could improve its strategies and management decisions moving forward.
RCB fans, passionate as ever, will be looking forward to how their team adapts and evolves with the upcoming changes, hoping for a breakthrough that could finally see them lift the IPL trophy.
