History is replete with examples wherein deserving characters have been shortchanged. One can speculate about why this happens while reading about them, but for the person who is actually going through it, it is agony combined with frustration and pain. In my opinion, Ambati Rayudu is one such cricket player from India who did not get his due. He was one of the most promising players as part of indian under 19 cricket setup, but has been in and out of the team for quite a while. He has made numerous comebacks into the indian team, but could never cement his position. The one thing which i feel has affected his career was joining the ICL in 2007. But still he managed to make a splendid comeback to the indian side. If only luck was on his side he would been counted amongst the cricketing greats of our time.
