Peterson Backs Rayudu Against Bullying on X: Former English cricketer and commentator Kevin Peterson has landed himself in the middle of unwanted chaos after the star’s playful ‘Joker’ remark on Ambatti Rayudu. After his comments, fans took to social media to troll the former Indian player.
Background
It was when the Kolkata Knight Riders won the IPL trophy in a stylish way after threshing Sunrisers Hyderabad in a one-sided business. During the post-match analysis for Star Sports, the English-Indian duo, along with former Aussie legend Mathew Hayden, were having fun being playful. When Ambati Rayudu changed his waistcoat from orange to purple following KKR’s win, Hayden and Peterson started pulling his legs.
“I’ve at least held firm. I wore it, and I owned it. You are a joker, always a joker,” Pietersen said, noting that the English star isn’t embarrassed about his pick.
Little did the player know fans would take his comment literally to troll Ambatti Rayudu, who has been in the column a lot lately going after Virat Kohli and RCB after Bengeluru’s elimination from the competition.
