‘I’ve no agenda towards any participant’: Venkatesh Prasad responds to Aakash Chopra over KL Rahul’s choice debate

On twenty first February 2023, the argument between former Indian pacer Venkatesh Prasad and former Indian opener Aakash Chopra reached one other stage as Prasad took to Twitter to refute Chopra’s allegations that the previous Indian bowling coach is operating an agenda towards batsman KL Rahul. Venkatesh Prasad has been vocally criticizing the choice technique of the Indian cricket staff and questioned repeated alternatives being given to KL Rahul regardless of his poor performances for the Test staff.

Venkatesh Prasad tweeted, “So my friend Aakash Chopra after making a vile video on YouTube this morning where he calls me an agenda peddle, conveniently and cleverly misquotes me, removes Mayank’s average of 70 at home, wants to gag views which are not in line with what he believes but wanted Rohit out.”

He added, “I have no agenda against any player, maybe there are others who have. Difference of opinion is fine but calling contrary views ‘don’t bring your personal agenda on Twitter’ is funny for Aakash Chopra considering he has made a great career by airing his views.”

I’ve no agenda towards any participant, perhaps there are others who’ve. Difference of opinion is ok however calling opposite views as apna private agenda and Twitter par mat laayein is humorous for @cricketaakash , contemplating he has made an awesome profession by airing his views.

Venkatesh Prasad additional stated, “I have nothing against KL or any other player, my voice has been against unfair selection and different yardsticks for performers. Be it Sarfaraz or Kuldeep, have voiced based on merit. But it was disappointing to see Aakash calling it personal agenda. This is what Aakash had aired when Rohit was 24 with 4 yrs in the international cross. He can use sarcasm for Rohit at 24, and I cannot point out underperforming Rahul at 31 with 8 years in International cricket.”

Venkatesh Prasad went on to say, “And the argument that we should not criticize a player in an ongoing match personally doesn’t make sense to me. That doesn’t affect the player’s performance. Most players don’t read views even after the match and no player can read in between matches as phones are deposited. I admire Aakash for the hard work he puts on his YouTube channel but calling a different viewpoint as agenda because it doesn’t suit his narrative is poor. There is no bitterness between us and since his video was in the public domain wanted to put my point out here. Best wishes.”

I love Aakash for the hardwork he places on his YouTube channel however calling a unique view level as agenda as a result of it doesn’t go well with his narrative is poor. There is not any bitterness between us and since his video was in public area needed to place my level out right here. Best needs

The argument between the 2 former cricketers began when former India bowler Prasad expressed his displeasure with KL Rahul’s steady choice regardless of his poor kind, main Aakash Chopra to time period it a private agenda. Chopra launched a video explaining why Prasad shouldn’t have performed that and supplied Rahul’s figures in SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia) international locations after Prasad shared his general statistics in away Tests.

Akash Chopra argued that selectors are proper in retaining religion with KL Rahul in the course of the Border Gavaskar Trophy in India based mostly on his performances exterior India.

Chopra has now responded to Prasad’s string of tweets and invited him for a debate on his YouTube channel. Responding on Twitter, Chopra stated, “Venky bhai, msgs are getting lost in translation. You here. Me on YT. I invite you to come on a Video Chat…we can do it Live. Difference on opinions is nice…lets do it properly.”

Venky bhai, msgs are getting misplaced in translation. You right here. Me on YT. I invite you to come back on a Video Chat…we will do it Live. Difference on opinions is good…lets do it correctly 😊
