Former Indian cricketer Ambati Rayudu has once again stirred controversy with a cryptic tweet that has left fans debating its intended target. Taking to Twitter, Rayudu wrote, “Instead of spending money on paid PR and paid comments to control the narrative, focus internally and on cricket—you might just come close to winning 🤣😜.”
The post quickly gained traction, with netizens offering varied interpretations. A section of fans speculated that Rayudu’s remarks were directed at the Indian cricket team’s senior players, amid long-standing rumors about their alleged use of public relations teams to manage their public image. Others believed the comment was aimed at the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) franchise, given Rayudu’s history of subtle digs at the team.
This is not the first time the former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batter has made headlines for his social media activity. Last year, Rayudu had taken a swipe at RCB players for their over-the-top celebrations after a victory against CSK, a remark that sparked mixed reactions among fans. His latest tweet has only reignited discussions about his outspoken nature and his tendency to engage in off-field banter.
While Rayudu has not clarified the intent behind his comment, the timing has fueled speculation, especially with the IPL season approaching and debates around the Indian team’s leadership and PR strategies gaining momentum.
