Some have said it was his altercation with Hyderabad Cricket Association vice-president Shivlal Yadav's son during a first-class game, while others argue that it was lack of motivation to play for India that led to his joining the rebel Indian Cricket League in 2007.
"Why did you run away from Hyderabad," was one of the hostile questions thrown at him. "I never ran away," pat came the reply.
Another journalist asked: "Do you expect the crowd to support you since you are playing at home?"
"I just hope they support good cricket," said Rayudu.
Next one was more sensation-seeking: "Some experts feel you have become too big for your own shoes. What do you have to say about that?"
At this point, the Mumbai Indians media manager wisely intervened and ended the media conference.
