Vijay Mallya, the team owner of RCB saked the CEO first and then after another loss condemned Rahul Dravid. What do you thing about that, is that justified?

this is a bad side of mallaiya. He should not disturb the team . his behavior might affect the team more.

How about sending Vijay Mallya to bat for the team. Imagine him playing cricket. What do you say?

In today's Newspaper there was a column where Mallya regretted the whole media fiasco and affirms faith in his team...i guess all the bad blood is history now. Dravid is the unluckiest cricketer ever....only bad things keep happening to that dude.

I guess he needs some 'good luck' to go along with the hard work.

Well he has showed in the past that he can win matches from hard work though he had not had enough luck!

Yes i too agree that he is the unluckiest criketer and most hard worked cricketer. He has been a self built many i say he is the role model to say Hard Work always pays. What do you say?

Its not correct on Vijay Mallya's part to condemn Rahul Dravid. what he could do if the team is not performing. Thats why Cricket should be left as is instead of combining with business. This is not good for cricket. Vijay should not over react in this matter. He does not have cricketing brain

i think undoubtedly rahul dravid knows much about cricket than vijay mallya. no doubt with the amount of experience dravid has he can judge which is the right team and which player to select in final eleven. its just that the players of the team are not able to find their form and not having a good time in the league. well it can happen to any team and any player in the world as sometimes we have good times and sometimes bad. i think that royal challengers should take match by match and try to win majority of their remaining matches that can help build confidence in the players for the next season..

I think Vijay Mallya is just getting to the limit.The losses of him team have just gone into his head! firstly he did a very wrong thing in sacking Charu Sharma in between the tournament which shouldn't have been done as scking anyone in between a tournament creates a negative atmosphere in the team. Then the most disastrous thing he did was condemning Rahul Dravid.He should know that players like him are legends in cricket and no one in the world has that right to condemn them whoever it may be.Who the hell is he saying all this ,he owns the team not the players. The reason for his teams bad form is just him as if he would have been just humbler and imaginative in his approach his team would have been on the top!!

I think Vijay Mallya is over-reacting. This Tenty Twenty cricket and this can go wrong very quickly even of you are doing the right thing. The condemnation of people won't help the team as it will create insecurity among the team and make very hostile enviorment among the team. Rahul Dravid is no doubt a bit test macth type of playe but he has the strenght and skills to mould himself according to the format of the game. Just like Michael Hussey shone in the IPL, who knows when will dravid bounce back.

Yes Vijay Mallya is over reacting. He should not have chosen cricket to make money. Its just a game and should be played so. As far a Rahul Dravid he is a gem of a charecter and I dont think he should be blamed for the teams debacle. Cricket is a team game and everyone is equally responsible for its performance. Vijay Mallya has thought that cricket is a gamble like horse race, which is very fond of. If that is the case I think cricketing world will not welcome him.

if you guys have watched the match yesterday then you would realize that he was not crossing the crease when there was a full pack o cards falling one after the other, it shows that he wanted to give an answer to the so called owner of the team that it is not a game of one player. all have to contribute and if he was not there then even they would not have managed a 100 runs total. so that is a kind of indirect slap on the face of vijay malya and i think he kind of deserve that.

Vijay Mallya is looking at 2 things 1. His own popularity and his brand popularity. He does like attention 2. His financial gains This is besides good fun, good cricket and new talent which he is not his priority unfortunately. He expected some quicfire benefits which isnt the case. Contrast him with how Shah Rukh reacts to his teams losses. Vijay is over-reacting - but I'm not surprised for someone with his temparament!

actually speaking mr. vijay mallya has every rite to blame dravid and the great host charu sharma mr. mallya had given his wishlist to the 2 of them the 2picked such a pathetic team that was worthy of playing 10 day test cricket lol but on the other hand, like mr. mallya opted to choose his own CHEER LEADERS, he should even opted to choose his own team and of all the people on earth onvolved with this game, noone even understans why he gave this jod to CHARU sharma he was the person who had oncw told mr. mallya: "do you want a cricket playing team or a glamorous team"if mr. mallya was in his senses then true to his nature he would have chosen a GLAMOROUS team instead he let his own thoughts to fly away into thin air and banked his team selection on CHARU sharma's ideas lol in short he dug his own grave anyways he had no rite to criticise dravid for the failure of the performance of his team he was soley responsible for this and just cannot shift the blame onto others i would also point out that due to his eccentric activities during the ipl, many youngsters in the team felt dejected and hence could not play upto their mark
