Former Indian fast bowler Venkatesh Prasad has rejected Aakash Chopra’s invitation to to engage in a video chat and have a live debate on KL Rahul. Venkatesh has slammed Rahul for his poor form and is not happy with the management for backing him continuously. Meanwhile, Chopra mocked Prasad for his criticism of Rahul through a video on his Youtube channel, as he stated “If there are any agendas, let’s not peddle them."
Following the video by Chopra, Prasad shared a screenshot of an old Tweet by the former Indian batter, where he criticized Rohit Sharma. Prasad mentions that if Chopra can use sarcasm for Rohit at the age of 24 with fours in international cricket, then why can’t he point out underperforming Rahul at 31 years with eight years of international cricket.
“This is what Aakash had aired when Rohit was 24 with 4 yrs in the international cricket. He can use sarcasm for Rohit at 24, and I cannot point out underperforming Rahul at 31 with 8 years in International cricket. Yeh bhi sahi hai," he tweeted sharing a screenshot.

'Aakash made a great career by airing views' - Prasad
“I have no agenda against any player, maybe there are others who have. Difference of opinion is fine but calling contrary views as apna personal agenda and Twitter par mat laayein is funny for @cricketaakash, considering he has made a great career by airing his views. I have …," stated Prasad in another Tweet.
Following his Tweets, Chopra came up with a reply and stated that the messages are getting lost in translation. He then invited Prasad to join him in a live chat on his Youtube channel and also stated that he will not earn a single penny from that video.
“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 I’ll not have any sponsors on it & nobody will make money out of it. Up for it? You have my number," Chopra tweeted.
Here's how Twitter reacted:
No Aakash, nothing is lost in translation. In your 12 minute video you have called me as an agenda peddler because it didn’t suit your narrative.
