“It doesn’t happen like that. So always think about the opportunity that you have rather than how bad it is right now. There is always a flip side to it, and it could always be worse than this. And the fact that we haven’t won the IPL, but I still feel that we have the best fans in the world.
“Only because we were always committed to every game that we played for RCB. That has been the most special thing for our fans. There’s no guarantee of giving you a cup every year, but there’s a guarantee of giving your 110% every year, and that’s all you can strive to do,”
In the inaugural session of the Indian Women’s T20 league, MI is at the top with five wins and 10 points, while DC is at the second spot with four wins, RCB is now at the second last position with Gujarat Giants at the bottom spot.
