Despite of having a star-studded squad, Royal Challengers Bangalore have a history full of failures. Previously as well, the team has not been able to win a single tournament in ten years, despite of having players like AB De Villiers and Virat Kohli in the playing squad.
In the ongoing league as well, Royal Challengers Bangalore have been struggling since the beginning. The star players of the team, Virat Kohli and AB De Villiers gave many phenomenal performances in the league but however, the team has only won three matches out of the ten they have played so far.

Being the skipper, Virat Kohli has been facing a lot of criticism, however, AB De Villiers has not come out in support for him. He said:
“He’s always been an inspirational character and we have a few leaders in the team that carry the guys in the tough time. We just want to look ahead and try to get better,”

Talking about his partnership with Virat Kohli, he said:
“Fantastic. He’s (Virat) a great guy and I love playing with him. He’s become a great captain and an even better friend.”
Talking about the poor performance of the team, AB De Villiers said:
“We haven’t played well. It’s been very disappointing, but four games are left and I would love to not live in the past much, and focus on what’s coming, which is Delhi (against Delhi Daredevils). So, we need to win that game and hopefully, have a bit of our run by the end of the season.”

Talking about his knock against Rashid Khan, where the Afghanistan’s sensational player took his wicket and sent him back to pavilion, he said:
“Rashid got me out previously. We haven’t played a lot against each other, but he bowled well and he’s a very good bowler. I have a lot of respect for him,”
AB De Villiers is considered a legend for a reason.
