Ambati Rayudu was a certainty for India's 2019 World Cup squad before the IPL 2019 started, but when April 15 came, the Indian team selection committee surprised one and all by omitting Rayudu from the squad and picking the fast-bowling all-rounder Vijay Shankar in the 15-man Indian squad.

Ambati Rayudu was visibly upset after the selection decision and tweeted his discontentment with a cheeky tweet, which read, "Just Ordered a new set of 3d glasses to watch the World Cup," Rayudu wrote on his Twitter handle yesterday. Rayudu's was left out of the squad just a few months after captain Virat Kohli had more or less earmarked him for the number four position.
