‘Topping IPL table show our quality’


Royal Challengers Bangalore franchisee director Siddharth Mallya on Monday said the information that the team top the points table after creature written off, shows its character.

"After our first win, we unluckily lost our three next games. The comments team wrote us off, the reporters wrote us off, the critic wrote us off. They said we had chosen a incorrect team. Where is (Rahul) Dravid? Where is (Robin) Uthappa? They asked," he told reporters during a promotional event.

"To rebound back from there, it shows the nature of the team. We have twisted a new IPL record of winning seven games in a row and were victorious in eight successive games if we contain the one wash away by rain. We are here on our value. However, we still have a long way to go," he added.

The junior Mallya was also all admire for the orange cap owner Chris Gayle, who has score 511 runs in nine innings to alone direct the Royal Challengers' revival. "For Chris Gayle to have the orange cap is extraordinary. He has scored over 500 runs in nine innings. It is not amazing that we normally hear in our lifetime," he said.

Mallya said IPL without Lalit Modi was like a "sugarfree candyfloss" and his being there was being missed. "Lalit Modi had a vision. He was a prophet. None of this would have been probable with no his vision. IPL 4 without Modi is like a sugarless candyfloss. It looks the same, taste the similar but you know something is missing."

"It is not that much has distorted. But yes we miss him," he said.

Mallya said although the IPL ratings had taken a hit this year, the fans were enjoying it nevertheless.

"After the ICC World Cup, there was a fear that people would be unwell of cricket. I don't see that to be a big subject. Personally, in Bangalore, most of the matches have been sell out. The ICC World Cup win has been a big help."

"The official ratings have been short but we have to take the World Cup into explanation as well," said Mallya.
