"You are ready to (sacrifice) Indian cricket" - Ajay Jadeja slams KKR management for dropping Venkatesh Iyer
Former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja has slammed KKR management after they left out of the team Venkatesh Iyer in their last outing against Rajasthan Royals.
Iyer, who was retained by the franchise, has failed to impress in the 15th edition of the tournament. However, the decision to drop the all-rounder didn't go down well with Jadeja. Speaking on Cricbuzz, the cricket expert said:
"It's like while trying to save your life, you are ready to (sacrifice) Indian cricket because you come from different nations here for two months you run the team the way you want and then leave according to the contract."
Venkatesh Iyer has only scored 132 runs in nine matches at a below-par average of 16.50. He has bowled only three overs and has remained wicketless.
