BCCI has banned Hyderabad team captain Ambati Rayudu for 2 matches. Rayudu was found guilty of violating the Code of Conduct in the match against Karnataka during the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament. Because of this, the batsman will not be able to play the first two matches of the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Explain that during the third over of Karnataka's innings Karun Nayar played the shot. Fielder Mehdi Hassan tried to stop the ball from the leg near the boundary line.
Although Hassan's legs touched the boundary during this time but the umpires pointed at 2 runs without giving the boundary. Both the umpires did not stop the game for the review but by improving the score before the start of the Hyderabad innings, the umpires made it 205/5.
Before the start of the Hyderabad innings, Karnataka captain Vinay Kumar and Hyderabad skipper Ambati Rayudu have been debated with the umpires. After the match ended, Ambati Rayudu kept raising this issue in front of the umpires. Other players of the team also came to the ground during this period. Because of this, the next match between Kerala and Andhra Pradesh could not be started at the time.

Not surprised with this decision. Ambati Rayudu is one of the angriest cricketers around and his outbursts have made for a rather poor watching. Needs some kind of control.
Expected Down the Line
