I had always admired Dr Vijay Mallya for spending his money on sports, but disaapointed to read his outbursts on the performance of 20/20. In fact he has selected rather bought Rahul & Charu in the first instance and if other teams are doing better they can't be blamed. After all only one team will win finals. His outbursts has clearly demoralised the team. It is not necessary that every investment gives returns.The very fact that his group of companies got huge popularity all over the world in itself a big achievement. He will do well for himself, his team & the game of sports if he encourages them to play good cricket unmindful of the results and I am sure the team will turn the table.

Please dont make this an issue! In every field of life one wins and one loses All cannot be winners and all cannot be losers. Why did Mallya spend so much money?? It is his fault.
Personally, I am spiritual person and HATE competition!!

Mallayya is a poor looser, why this outburst now?. As an indian industrialist he seems to be showing his true colours in the sense for all ills in the industry blame the Govt. what he had done now is damaging the morale of his players and supporters of his team,Action should be taken against him as a owner for damaging the game's credibility.

Royal Challengers are already out of the tournament. Now they are playing only to receive their guaranteed share of money for participating in the IPL...The main competition is only between Rajashthan, Chennai, Punjab, Delhi, Kolkatta and Mumbai.....Hyderabad and Bangalore can only fight for the 7th and 8th position....Vijay Mallya is known for being the King of Good Times and he will make the necessary changes and return with a Bang next year.

The brand value of Royal Challenge maybe associated with loosing Bangalore Royal Challengers, which I guess Mallaya did not realise before. Not to accept responsibility and blame others as a head of a big organisation shows the true character of a liquor businessman. He had said earlier in one of shows on drunken driving, not to blame alcohol, but to blame the person who overdoes it. Same applies here also Mr. Mallaya! Do not be a hypocrite.

I still cant believe that Mr Mallya didnot take part in this selection and he did this mistake. Anyway, even now there is time left for action. fire or ask to sit outside to all non performing playes and try new combies as u have nothing to loose. IPL is not like F1 where you know that it takes time to make the team performing and people know that Force India needs 2 or 3 years to get into a position. In IPL you need to start performing from the day one itself... now lets see what the flamboyant Business man does next.....

After Mallya's frustrating comments. Team is under more pressure. This will not do any good for the team, in fact may worsen the condition. Mr. mallya's comments were needless, atleast now.

Hi Malaya ... I agree with you that you have picked a great test team, one that has no clue how to bat till the 18th Over of their innings. I would suggest that you immediately fire Dravid and make Virat Kohli the captian, you require smart & risky decision makers.

For many players playing in this IPL, experience will be like shifting from a Govt. job to a Private job. Mallaya firing the top boss to Preity calling for a team meeting at 6.30 am are just the initial doses of things in store for them. I worry many of them will loose self esteem in greed of wealth in times to come.
