After the completion of the match, during a recent discussion on ESPNCricinfo, the former Indian cricketer Ambati Rayudu bashed Cricket Australia (CA) for a weird decision, where an international player was stopped from bowling to manage his workload.After KKR’s two main bowlers, Harshit Rana and Matheesha Pathirana (for first half), are not available for the current season due to their respective injuries. The KKR team management had a lot of expectations of the mighty Australian all-rounder. However, when it came out that for the initial matches, he would not be available to bowl, it marked the debate over Cricket Australia (CA).On this, the Ambati Rayudu trolled Cricket Australia, saying,” Can he play a cover drive or not? Maybe he might just injure his elbow. Maybe he should just flick the ball."This decision made KKR lose their opening match against the Mumbai Indians, as in the second innings, when Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickleton were at the crease, they failed to break through and later made a huge partnership of 148 runs while chasing a target of 221. If Cameron Green were given a chance to bowl, the story could be different for the Kolkata Knight Riders.Strong Words from Ambati Rayudu: ‘The Player Knows Best
Going further on this, Ambati Rayadu said that the cricket board is not the best one to judge a player, especially when it comes to workload management, calling it absurd. "It is absolutely absurd. When somebody is coming to compete in a tournament and you tell him, 'you can do this and you can't do that', absolute nonsense. It can't happen in a professional setting. I think it should be upto the player. If he is competing as a professional, he should be able to do whatever he is capable of doing. The player is the best judge.""My mom always wanted me to wear a helmet, but I never liked it. Does not mean that my mom signs a contract and sends me out saying that, 'he can't play, my son might get injured'," an agitated Ambati Rayudu added. This decision resulted in KKR losing their opening game by 6 wickets despite scoring a huge total of 220 runs on the board. MI chased down the target in 19.1 overs.Piyush Chawla Stands with Ambati Rayudu on Cameron Green Controversy
During the same discussion, former India and MI leg-spinner Piyush Chawla backed Ambati Rayudu over the latter's views on Cameron Green not being allowed to bowl by CA in the IPL. He questioned whether an all-rounder would feature in a BBL playing XI, given the same circumstances. Chawla stated:"Okay, his board has said that he can't bowl for a particular number of games. I just want to know if some all-rounder goes to Big Bash and if you write that note that he can't bat or he can't run, will they be featured in the playing XI? I don't think so. Why is it here like this? As simple as that."Having lost their opening IPL 2026 match to MI, KKR will now take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on April 2.Also Read: "Inexperienced bowling attack": Ajinkya Rahane defends KKR's young bowling unit despite loss vs MI in IPL 2026
