Recently, Ambatti Rayudu was a guest in Harbhajan Singh’s talk show “Quick Heal Bhajji Blast show” . In the show Harbajan Singh asked about Ambatti Rayudu’s lucky charm to which Ambatti replied that he borrows a bat from Kohli each year and now even Virat Kohli knows that his bat is lucky for Ambatti Rayudu.
Here’s what Ambatti Rayudu revealed in the show :
“Har saal ek bat leta hu Virat (Kohli) se, usko bhi maloom ho gaya ki tashan hai. Is saal to gaali deke diya hai.”
Which roughly translates to : I borrow a bat from Virat every year. Now even he knows the secret. This time around he gave me a bat after a lot of banter.
