Former Indian Test starter turned cricket analyst Aakash Chopra acknowledges that Ambati Rayudu might not be a three-dimensional player, but he’s very good at hitting, which is the only dimension he has. Before the 2019 World Cup, MSK Prasad had eliminated Rayudu for Vijay Shankar’s ‘three-dimensional’ abilities.
There were many concerns regarding the Chennai Super Kings, as they suffered a severe blow even before the tournament started, losing key players such as Suresh Raina and Harbhajan Singh. Given that CSK boasts a pretty good spinning attack, the absence of Suresh Raina, in particular, was supposed to be a hit to the body at batting, as the franchise lacked good players for its position and they didn’t even name a replacement. At 4, who could well become No. 3 earlier than expected, Ambati Rayudu played a 71-run winning hand in CSK’s opening match against the defending champions Mumbai Indians in Abu Dhabi.
Chasing a total of 163 runs, Rayudu batted like he was trying to make a statement when faced with the MI attack, which is very decent for making 71 in just 48 deliveries with the help of six fours and three sixes. His punch prompted Aakash Chopra to tweet that he might not be a complete player, but he does very well at his specialty and that’s hitting.
It may not be a 3D player, but it’s still pretty efficient in the only dimension it has … top knock Ambati Rayudu #CSK #MIvCSK # IPL2020

It appeared that Aakash Chopra was shooting at former team chairman MSK Prasad, who had cited Vijay Shankar’s 3D skills as the reason for choosing him ahead of Ambati Rayudu for the 2019 World Cup, a play that backfired as a center-back. India. The order was exposed in the tournament and Shankar also failed to impress before being ruled out with injury.
“We gave Rayudu a few more chances, but Vijay Shankar gives three dimensions. He can hit if the conditions are cloudy, he can pitch, and he’s also a fielder. We regard Vijay Shankar as number 4, ”MSK Prasad had said.
