Ambati Rayudu’s selection in the Indian Twenty20 International (T20I) has been a subject of debate. His selection meant that Ajinkya Rahane had to sit out. After getting run out without scoring in the 1st T20I, the 2nd match presented Rayudu the perfect chance to play a knock of substance but all he managed was another duck. [Pick of the tweets: India vs South Africa, 2nd T20I at Cuttack]
Coming in at 43 for three in the eighth over, Rayudu was dismissed in the second ball and what surprised fans was the fact that he got bowled off a full toss. This was Kagiso Rabada’s first wicket from the match and it put India in a further state of bother. [Live steaming on Star Sports: India vs South Africa 2015, 2nd T20I at Cuttack]
Rayudu’s casual dismissal wasn’t well received by the fans and they vented out their anger by poking fun and trolling him on Twitter. We present you with some of the tweets.
Rayudu is ordinary. No question. Rahane isn’t the greatest either in limited overs cricket. Classic case of a player growing on the bench.

Just saw the Rayudu dismissal. Wow. Forget the Rahane debate altogether, he is walking a thin line. Cant play Zimbabwe every time. #IndvsSA

Rayudu might be a better player on slow pitches but Rahane can definitely handle full tosses better. #INDvSA

Ambati Rayudu remembers me my childhood days. He is a cameo role of Indian team #IndVsSA

Rayudu got out on first ball because he knew that Dhoni will either make him run out or won’t give him strike.

Instead of getting clean bowled rayudu could have gotten hit wicket or caught handling the ball. #IndvsSA

Rayudu looks like a helpless & clueless batsman from the 90s who will give up in crucial games and bat at Strike rate of 70 #IndvsSA
