Virat Kohli is counted among the most successful captains of India. Under his captaincy, the Indian team could not win any ICC trophy, but the dominance of the Indian team was seen in all three formats. After this, in the beginning of 2022, he completely left the captaincy of Team India. But after years, 2007 T20 World Cup winning player Robin Uthappa has made a big revelation about Virat Kohli. According to Robin Uthappa, Virat did not like a player, due to which he was not selected in the 2019 ODI World Cup.

Robin Uthappa's big allegation on Virat

A statement of Robin Uthappa had recently gone viral. He had said that Yuvraj Singh's career had ended because of Virat Kohli. Now he has given a shocking statement on the relationship between Virat and former Team India player Ambati Rayudu. Robin Uthappa has said that Virat did not like Rayudu, due to which he was not selected in the 2019 World Cup team. Let us tell you, Ambati Rayudu was a big contender to play the 2019 World Cup. But at the time of team announcement his name was not in the squad. Vijay Shankar went to England in his place, which was a surprising decision.

Robin Uthappa said in an interview to Lalantop, 'If Virat Kohli did not like someone or he did not like someone, he was removed from the team. Ambati Rayudu is the biggest example of this. Everyone has their own preferences, but you cannot close the doors to a player after reaching his level. He had World Cup clothes, World Cup kit bag, everything at his house. A player might be thinking that he is going to play the World Cup. But you closed the doors for him. According to me this was not right.

Ambati Rayudu's international career

Ambati Rayudu's international career started in the year 2013. At the same time, he played his last match for Team India in the year 2019. During this period, Ambati Rayudu played 55 ODI and 6 T20 matches for India. In ODIs, he scored 1694 runs at an average of 47.05, which included 10 half-centuries and 3 centuries. On the other hand, scored 42 runs in T20. Ambati Rayudu retired from all formats of Indian cricket in May 2023.
