Royal Challengers lost one more match against Rajastan Royals in a very bad manner. What do you think is going on in the team.

I think nothing is wrong in the team!! the thing that is wrong there is the mentality of the players and its because of Vijay Mallya as i think something is wrong with him ,ya its true that he bought the team but he should demotivate them by saying senseless things in media,sacking Charu Sharma n a whole lot of crap that he has done, it has done nothing good for him.Team has just started plating best to last in the league which will effect him rather than anyone! tell me what was the need of saying that this team is a bunch of test players.They have very good players like Mark Boucher he can destroy any attack any time so is he the test player,or kallis who on his day can be basher or Dale Steyn who was the world number one some tym ago now he is top 5 is he that player or Rahul Dravid who has proved in this tournament with his knocks that he is the best then who was Mallya talking about.. i think this is the man reason for the teams failure rather than the players as the foremost thing that a team needs is backing from the owner..

i think the main reason is bad captainship...and yes when the ipl started i also thought that banglore was a good and strong side...looks like you are from banglore???

I suppose the team composition itself is not good. As the team CEO said, they should have selected a different team. I am not satisfied with the team selection and that is the main reason. A T20 team does not require all that many anchors like dravid, kallis, jaffer, etc... They simple can't up the run rate neither could play different shots which is must in T20 format

Well Kallis is one of the best all rounders in the world and he has won many matches for South Africa. He is also know as a hard hitter with brilliant head on strong shoulders. May be his age factor is showing up. And coming to Rahul i think we have seen how he got adjusted to one day international and scored a fastest fifty as well. I agree with Jaffer being a test player, but what about other, there are Chandrapaul, Boucher etc. Arent they good players?

I agree with they single handedly won the matches for their countries, but the thing is playing once in a blue moon day is not enough in this format...They are exceptonally good and hard hitters in the sense in playing good cricketing shots. But here you got to be a bit over eggressive

the bad interview of vijay malya made a very bad statement about the team and something which related to money. but he does not realise the thing that when you are in to sports everything cannot go as planned like buisness. so you better not behave like this. even you are not sure if everything goes as it should when it is buisness. but he showed that he had the talent and there is no point for him to prove. but he was able to play to his potential only because he did not have the support.

Well you might be a fan of teams from North India and would feel happy of the performance of Royal Challengers and Deccan Chargers. Do you think these two teams are really bad and what about the future of them.

hi, well if you ask me i think it is the captain, no person reasons however i have never liked him and to be a captain not at all. he has no drive in him whatso evere. he just seems to be so uninterested even during the match. look at the other captains they are driving their players in such a good manner. its all about team work.

Royal Challenger.......they don't look like 20-20 team....this team is good for TEST Matches.........only few player like MISBAH ,Taylor, Dravid are capable to score run over S/R 150.....So Vijay Malya should think again on his team and add some player who are fit for 20-20. He can take players from Bangladesh (Murtaza,Bashar and more) if he don't get it from anywhere else...........

The royal challenger team is aged team.I mean to say they are lack of young legs.Most over the team has test playing cricketer.Twenty Twenty cricket needs young legs who can make run fast,can hard hit the ball.so that ball go outside the boundry line.I am not under estimating the players of the team but Rahul dravid,Anil kumble,Mark boucher all are test playing cricketer.One thing I want to say they cannot convert single run into two run.

I think everything is going wrong with the team. Batsmen are not delievering the performance that they are supposed to. And bowling had also failed with likes of praveen kumar, kumble and steyn. And above all that the team owner is expressing concerns over the team's performance instead of motivating them. The said reason are enough to for a team to fall down.
