Aggression and Anger is the common issue with Indian cricketers we’ve seen over the past many years. Sreesanth was known to be very aggressive. Harbhajan Singh got angry once and slapped Sreesanth. Virat Kohli is known to be super aggressive and has notably used a lot of cuss words for opposite team players during the live match. However, none of them was ever noticed indulged in a fight with someone at a public place especially a senior citizen.
Indian middle order batsman Ambati Rayudu has crossed all the barriers of aggression. He was seen and recorded on camera while manhandling a senior citizen at a public place.
The incident happened when Ambati was on his way to the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Thursday. Reportedly, Rayudu was driving rashly and when the senior citizen pointed it out, he lost his cool and started abusing him. It didn’t end there as Rayudu got down from his car and attacked the senior citizen physically.
The whole matter was recorded in phone camera by someone and posted on social media.

@RayuduAmbati Unless u learn to respect your elders, u will reach nowhere in life. Don't displace your cricketing frustrations on others.

However, there were a few people who said that it was not a fault of Rayudu because senior citizen provoked him. Check out their tweets-

Ambati was also involved in an on field argument with Harbhajan Singh while playing for Mumbai Indians against Rising Pune Supergiant in the Indian Premier League last year.
What do you think about it?
