How Ambati Rayudu's Harsh Goenka tweet backfired
Goenka returned the favour to Rayudu, who had taken a dig at Goenka for his criticism of MS Dhoni during IPL 2017.
Hyderabad: Karma has hit back at Ambati Rayadu after Harsh Goenka trolled the Hyderabad batsman over his scuffle with a senior citizen over rash driving.
During the 10th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Mumbai Indians batsman took a dig at Harsh Goenka, the brother of the of Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) owner Sanjeev Goenka, who was repeatedly critical of Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s performances.
There is no doubt that Rayadu shares a good rapport with the former Indian captain and was one of those who felt Goenka was too harsh on Dhoni after he was also stripped off his captaincy for the RPS, losing it to Steve Smith.
The veteran batsman soon came good in the next match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, guiding his team to a win with a match-winning knock of 61 from 34 deliveries. Rayadu soon struck the iron hot, taking a jibe at Goenka on Twitter.
Great knock @msdhoni . Can some one plz gift a mirror to @hvgoenka.

Goenka, however, still seems to remember his critics. On Wednesday, the Mumbai Indians cricketer was involved in a scuffle with a senior citizen after he asked Rayadu not to rash-drive.
The star batsman got off his car and manhandled the elderly man, before onlookers had to intervene to stop the fight. Rayudu’s ugly video did the rounds on social media and caught the eye of Goenka, who made sure Rayadu got a taste of his medicine.
Great knock @RayuduAmbati . Can some one plz gift a mirror to him?
