This season has also experienced a refreshing change in the configuration of the broadcast, with several former cricket players entering new roles behind the microphone.

Shikhar Dhawan takes a wild excavation at Ambati Rayudu during Mi vs CSK Clash

The bond of the duo, however, goes much further. They have been teammates for almost two decades, after sharing a wardrobe for the first time during the World Cup of Cricket under 19, ICC 2004Where Rayudu led the side and Dhawan was one of the most promising young strikers. This campaign, formerly full of promises, ended with sorrow while India was eliminated in the semi-finals with arc rivals Pakistan And as Dhawan recently recalled the world, the reasons for this loss were as dramatic as they were unexpected.

During a live comment on stars sports for the match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) And Mumbai Indians (Mi)Dhawan has abandoned with casualness what was going to become one of the funniest and viral moments of the season. Speaking with Aakash Chopra and Rayudu himself, Dhawan told the 2004 U19 World Cup incident where Rayudu received a suspension of a match just before the match of the India semi-final, a key blow that probably tilted the balance in favor of Pakistan.

“Ambati Rayudi Ka Bahut Bada Naam Tha U19 Mein. Humare Captain the U19 World Cup Mein. Aur Wahan Pe Bhi Ban Ho Gaye the, Humara Semi-final Mar Gaya » (Rayudu had a big name in the U19 cricket. He was our captain in the World Cup. And even there, he was banished and we lost our semi-final because of this), said Shikhar.

The excavation was delivered with the signing smile of Dhawan and the comic timing. Chopra immediately burst out laughing, while Rayudu temporarily took an apogee could not help adding once the initial shock has dissipated. During the U19 2024 World Cup, Rayudu was prohibited for a match after breaking the ICC code of conduct. He was accused of unclaimed and excessive time in a previous match.

A nod to past controversies: Rayudu and the rebellious ICL ban

Interestingly, Dhawan’s remark, although light, has also aroused memories of another controversial chapter from Rayudu’s career. In 2007, Rayudu was part of a group of Indian players who chose to participate in the Indian Cricket League (ICL)who had not received recognition from Cricket control advice in India (BCCI). Rayudu played for the Hyderabad hero From 2007 to 2008 and was therefore prohibited from tournaments sanctioned by the BCCI. It was a bold but expensive decision that saw his career stand as he culminated. However, in 2009, the BCCI granted an amnesty to 79 ICL players, allowing them to join national and international circuits. Rayudu took advantage of the opportunity to scenote an impressive return, finally becoming a regular for the Indians of Mumbai, CSK, and even by winning a place in the Indian national part.
