As the IPL 2024 season draws to a close, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) bids farewell after their defeat in the Eliminator match against Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Wednesday, May 22. Despite their exit, criticism from former cricketers regarding the team’s repeated failures persists.
Former India cricketer-turned-commentator, Ambati Rayudu, has once again taken to social media to voice his concerns about RCB’s management and players, questioning their priorities. Rayudu’s latest comments follow RCB’s star batter Virat Kohli topping the season’s run-scoring charts with an impressive 741 runs, yet failing to secure an IPL title in his 17 seasons with the team.

Expressing empathy for loyal RCB supporters who have stood by the team through thick and thin, Rayudu criticized the management and leadership for seemingly prioritizing individual achievements over the team’s success. He highlighted the departure of several talented players and urged the franchise to focus on acquiring individuals who prioritize team objectives.

“My heart truly goes out to all the RCB supporters who have passionately supported the team over the years. If only the management and the leaders had the team’s interests ahead of individual milestones. RCB would have won multiple titles. Just remember how many fantastic players have been let go. Force your management to bring players who will put the team’s interests first. A great new chapter can start from the mega auction,” Ambati Rayudu conveyed on his social media platform.

Rayudu’s message resonates with RCB fans, urging them to advocate for a team-first approach in player recruitment to bolster their chances of clinching their maiden IPL title. With only two games left in the tournament, three teams remain in contention for the coveted trophy.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have already secured a spot in the finals, awaiting the winners of Qualifier 2, a clash between RR and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). As the competition intensifies, the quest for IPL glory continues for these remaining contenders.
