Rayudu is known for his short temperament and Bravo utilizes it very well.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder Dwayne Bravo spoke about the inside story of the team which doesn't come out to fans. Bravo told how he likes to poke Ambati Rayudu, who is known to be hot-headed.
In a live chat with CSK on Instagram, Bravo said Rayudu is one of his favorite Indian players. He loves to speak negative about the Hyderabad cricketer to get under the skin of his teammate.

Rayudu takes the words of Bravo seriously and tries to prove him wrong with his performances. "Ambati Rayudu is one of my favorite players. I played with him at Mumbai Indians. We didn't play much together there. I know he is a player that, to me, is very very unfair to his talent. He is one of India's batsmen," Bravo said.
"He is also a very hot-tempered guy. I like to say 'you're not good, you're rubbish. I don't know why CSK bought you'. These things get to his head.
"He is also very determined to prove me wrong all the time. He would. If you look at his first season with CSK, we sit next to each other. Every time I sit next to him, I say negative things.
"He will always go out there to prove me wrong. I always feel happy for his success. He is a special person. You have to really know him to love him. If you don't know him, then you may get the wrong ideas. He is a true team man. Very passionate about his cricket."
Rayudu and Bravo had played together for Mumbai Indians in past.
