🚨 Former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) player Ambati Rayudu has been facing backlash from Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Virat Kohli fans following his recent criticisms. Reports indicate that Rayudu's family has been receiving threats due to his comments.
🏏 In a crucial IPL 2024 match, CSK lost to RCB, allowing Bangalore to advance to the playoffs. Post-match, Rayudu criticized RCB on social media and took indirect digs at Kohli, who won the Orange Cap for scoring the most runs this season. Rayudu commented that winning the Orange Cap doesn’t guarantee an IPL trophy, which enraged RCB and Kohli fans.
👨👩👧👦 Some fans have allegedly targeted Rayudu's family, with threats reported against his wife and young children. Rayudu's friend, Sam Paul, revealed on Instagram that RCB fans threatened to harm Rayudu's family, stating that his wife and children were threatened with assault and murder.
📣 Sam Paul’s post has gone viral, calling for the police and judicial system to take action against the offenders. Many netizens have come out in support of Rayudu, emphasizing that while criticism in cricket is normal, targeting a player's family is unacceptable.
