Royal Challengers Bangalore are struggling once again in the Indian Premier League after a good start to the season. Currently, they are placed in the seventh spot on the points table of the ongoing edition of the tournament. They have won five matches alongside six losses in the tournament in 11 matches they played so far in the tournament.
Apart from that, the former RCB star AB de Villiers has come up with a suggestion for his former franchise. De Villiers felt that Bangalore badly need a batter in the death overs; he also reckoned it as one of the major differences in win or loss for the RCB.
“RCBs desperately needed an in-batter for the last 3-5 overs throughout this campaign! Let’s hope Maxi can be there for the last 20 oddballs today. Difference between winning and losing” wrote AB de Villiers in a tweet he posted from his official Twitter handle.
This suggestion for RCB from Mr. 360 also drew a lot of interesting reactions and responses from the RCB fans and another section of cricket fans as well. Fans immediately took to Twitter and came up with different replies as a few of them demanded de Villiers come back after retirement to play for RCB in the Indian Premier League.
Here’s how fans reacted:
