I think Rahul Dravid was the best player of RCB. Not retaining such a great player was worst decision atall. He can consolidate innings after lossing some quick wkts. I think RCB is incomplete without him and kallis
Ya shre you are right but i can fill up this vacancy with my off spin bowling with dosra
I LIKE TO SOLUTE MALLAYA & RCB TEAM TO DO A GOOD JOB SPECIALLY AB DE VILLEARS
