After India Champions’ five-wicket win in the final of the World Championship of Legends 2024, a big statement has come from former Indian player Ambati Rayudu. It is worth noting that Rayudu played a match-winning innings of 50 runs in 30 balls in the final against Pakistan Champions.

Rayudu called it a remarkable achievement, given the challenge of competing in such a prestigious tournament with active cricketers. He stressed that the India champions, lacking current active players, need to improve their performance.

Ambati Rayudu’s big statement came out

Let us tell you that after India Champions’ 5-wicket win against Pakistan Champions in the final of the World Championship of Legends, Rayudu was quoted by Star Sports as saying – It was a great tournament. It is difficult to not play active cricket and then play such a good cricket tournament. Especially, because a lot of active cricketers are also playing it.

Rayudu further said- This is not an easy league, but it was great. To be successful in the tournament, we have to improve our game. We played some matches very badly during the tournament. But still we performed really well in our last two matches, because the team had the mindset to do so.

Let us tell you that the final match of the tournament was played on Saturday, July 13 at Edgbaston, Birmingham. Batting first, Pakistan Champions scored a total of 156 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 20 overs. After this, India Champions achieved this target with five wickets remaining on the basis of Ambati Rayudu’s half-century and Yusuf Pathan’s quick innings of 30 runs in 16 balls.
