A while ago, cricketing fans got a shock with of their lives as Amabati Rayudu announced his retirement from all forms of cricket. Rayudu was overlooked from the squad not once but twice from the team boarding the bus for 2019 Cricket World Cup. Back in April, when the selectors announced the team for CWC 2019, they selected Vijay Shankar for his 3D approach. After Shankar was ruled out due to a toe injury, Mayank Agarwal was selected for the squad. Ambati Rayudu Announces Shock Retirement From All Forms of Cricket After ICC World Cup 2019 Snub.
After being dropped from the squad for the first time, Rayudu was obviously sad like any other player. But he vented out his frustration in a humorous way and took a jibe at selector MSK Prasad. Rayudu wrote on Twitter that he needed 3D glasses for watching the World Cup games. Just after Rayudu’s retirement news broke out, the netizens pointed out this very tweet which could have cost him the match.
