In a week dominated by cross-border hostilities between India and Pakistan, cricket has not remained untouched. The IPL 2025 fixture between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamsala was abruptly called off due to national security concerns. Amid this chaos, former India batter Ambati Rayudu found himself embroiled in a storm of criticism for a tweet that many felt was ill-timed and tone-deaf.

Soon after the match cancellation, Rayudu posted on social platform X (formerly Twitter): “An eye for an eye makes the world blind.” The tweet, though brief, was met with sharp backlash from fans who accused him of undermining the gravity of the situation and showing a lack of national solidarity.

The timing of the tweet, just hours after reports of drone activity near the HPCA Stadium surfaced, didn’t sit well with the public. While Rayudu may have intended to share a general reflection, the volatile context led many to interpret his words as misplaced and insensitive.

Within moments of Rayudu’s post, reactions flooded in across social media platforms, with users from all corners of the country expressing outrage and disappointment. Many fans felt that his statement was poorly timed, especially given the heightened emotions surrounding the national security situation. Some accused him of being disconnected from the ground reality, while others criticized him for making a blanket remark during a sensitive period. The backlash wasn’t limited to just casual users—several verified accounts and public figures also weighed in, calling out the former cricketer for what they believed was an unnecessary and provocative comment.
