Ambati Rayudu had a great run of a time at the IPL 2018 for Chennai Super Kings. But he missed the bus to the limited overs format after failing the Yo-Yo test. He is obviously disappointed with himself for the same but added that he has nothing against the test. He is extremely happy with the fitness standards laid by the BCCI. Rayudu played a blistering knock of 62 runs against Australia A in the quadrangular series at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore.

"I was disappointed with myself that I could not clear the test. Nothing against the test at all as everybody has to attain a certain fitness level playing for India. To be honest, I believe in it. I was disappointed with myself as to why I could not clear the test so I worked towards it and cleared it,"," Rayudu told reporters in the post-match press conference in Bengaluru on Thursday.

However a few days ago, he said, “I cleared it a few days back and I also got a call up and am happy to be back in the scheme of things. I am happy that there is a certain kind of a benchmark. It is just that everybody has to respect it and move forward.”

Talking about the inclusion of Hanuma Vihari and Prithvi Shaw for the Indian test squad, Rayudu said, “To be honest, I have not seen much of Hanuma playing. When he was playing for Hyderabad, I was representing Baroda. I am happy that the young guys are getting call-ups,"
