Rayudu pointed to Sheth as a future India player. “Atit is a very promising all-rounder and has a bright future. He has been performing consistently. He has all those qualities which need to represent India. He has a good technique and he is an all-format player,” Rayudu, 37, who represented the country in 55 ODIs and six T20Is told Sunday mid-day.   

When asked about his motivation factor as he is retired from international cricket, Rayudu said: “I am batting well. At this age, my motivation is to play good cricket, perform well and help the team to win games. Hunger to perform comes with the tight situation and tough matches and I am enjoying it.”
