‘An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind’

“An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." Let’s remember — this isn’t a call for weakness, but a reminder of wisdom," Rayudu wrote on X.

“Justice must stand firm, but never lose sight of humanity. We can love our nation fiercely and still hold compassion in our hearts.

“Patriotism and peace can walk hand in hand. 🇮🇳🕊️❤️," he concluded.

Meanwhile, Rayudu is part of the broadcast team of the ongoing Indian Premier League. In fact, the ongoing season of the IPL is also under threat. Due to the escalating tension between the two nations, there is a high possibility that the cash-rich league gets cancelled or postponed indefinitely. The match on Thursday at Dharamshala between Punjab and Delhi was abruptly called off. 

Gujarat Titans are currently at the top of the table with eight wins in 11 matches. The Titans are closely followed by the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who are at the second spot. Chennai, Rajasthan and Hyderabad are already out of the playoff race. Lucknow host Bengaluru on Friday at the Ekana stadium. There is a lot of cloud looming over the game given the escalating tensions between India-Pakistan.
