Robin Uthappa Goes ALL OUT, Makes A Shocking Claim To Expose Virat Kohli's Attitude

Former India cricketer Robin Uthappa has recently made an audacious statement on Virat Kohli, revealing that the former Indian skipper had dropped Ambati Rayudu from the 2019 ODI World Cup Team. The former cricketer added that the motive behind Rayudu's exclusion was because Virat did not like him.

"If he (Virat Kohli) didn't like anyone, he didn't feel someone is good, then they were cut. (Ambati) Rayudu is the prime example. You feel bad. Everybody has preferences, I agree but you cannot close the door on a player after taking him to the cusp. He had World Cup clothes, World Cup kit bag, everything was there at his home. A player would be thinking that he is going to the World Cup. But you shut the door on him. That wasn't fair according to me," Robin Uthappa revealed during an appearance at Lallantop.

Ambati Rayudu's exclusion from the 2019 World Cup squad stirred a lot of debate as it rattled Indian cricket fans and pundits. The veteran cricketer also called out the selection committee's decision to take him out of the squad over social media. As Ambati's replacement, all-rounder Vijay Shankar was added to the Men in Blue's World Cup Squad.
