Ambati Rayudu breaks India's middle-order drought !!!

[velu]

 

 

It is India's reward for openly showing faith in a batsman. Ahead of this series, Virat Kohli made no fuss when he said that Rayudu was "designed" for the role and that he would be given the opportunity to cement himself.

 

Rayudu has shown twice in this series what Kohli meant. In a team with so much power concentrated in the top three, the No. 4 is most likely to be tested on two fronts: how well he can steady the innings if two of those batsmen have fallen quickly, and how well he can transition into attack if the start is already there. In Visakhapatnam during the second ODI, Rayudu succeeded at the former. In Mumbai, he did a bit of both.

 

"I don't think it's new to me because it's a position I've played a lot in and there's nothing new they've asked me to do. They've asked me to go out and play my game," Rayudu had said.

At 33, Rayudu can't realistically be a long-term prospect for India, but his peak has come at the right time. Rayudu has possibly taken the longest, most difficult route to becoming an Indian regular, but they'll be grateful he got that yo-yo test out of the way.

Only in Indian team a 33 (in world cup 34) Year old budhau can cement his place. why pant, gill, vihari are playing cricket after this wc i am afraid selectors will pick parthiv patel to bat at 4

Parthiv Patel will replace Dhoni for 2023 worldcup. Dk will replace Parthiv for 2027 worldcup. Pant will get his chance in 2031 wc.

To rayudu fans, ye pehle bhi hua hai

Rohit was blazing all guns at the other end, Rayudu just had to stick around which he did. Despite that, at no stage did he look settled enough. But a 100 is a 100. So props to him.

 

Unfortunately it doesn't change the middle order conundrum much. Can this middle order help us reach 280-85 if we lose top 3 within 10 overs? I still have got ZERO confidence on them

And that makes it worse. We will go into the WC with a middle order of Rayudu (34), Jadhav (33, actually could be 34-35) and Dhoni (38). This will make us the only team with a top 6 where all of them will be 30+. Can't remember any such ODI outfits from any era.

He is 33* and him with Dhoni & Raydud won't play 2023 world cup in India where we will have whole middle order with new players who never played in pressure situation. That's reason we must have one or two youngsters in middle order so they will be prepared at least for 2023 World cup.

just now i checked , jadhav is 6/7 months older than rayudu  

i would pick jadhav ahead of rayudu , pandeyji etc.. but he always gives me a feel that he will break down at any time 

 

raina might have been really handy .. but his fear of short balls ended his career prematurely

But he is able to run faster than Cheetahs, Dinosaurs, Turtles, AK47 Bullet & Speed of Light and that's what matters in cricket.

If will be the first one to accept that Rayudu is not my favourite for no 4,but if he can score a few hundreds down under and win games . I have no issues.Lets see how he does in Australia.

Batsman ran slow cause he knew cheetahs might come and attack him.

The thing is he had the option to throw the ball from safe distance to run the batsman out. He did not require the cheetah run.
It would have made sense in baseball where you need to tag the runner to get him out. It's not required in cricket. It's an advantage if you are quick but that doesn't solely qualify you to be part of an international cricket team.
