In this situation, AB de Villiers, speaking on his YouTube channel, said that IPL commentators are criticizing RCB. He expressed his shock and disappointment at the negative comments made against the bowlers. He said that the commentators were criticizing the RCB bowlers without understanding the situation. “The commentators’ speech really angered me. They were very negative when RCB was bowling. ‘RCB’s bowling is under pressure. It seems they can’t manage it. Once again, a team that is in good form is starting to lose momentum,’ said a former RCB batsman,” de Villiers said.

He continued, “But the pitch could be very good for batting. Why don’t you, you clever, sharp commentators, consider the possibility that it could be a better pitch for batting?” “They said RCB’s bowling unit was in poor form once again. It seemed like commentators were saying the same thing at times. Yes, RCB have never won a title, but it is bad to say ‘they are losing, they are useless’ without properly analyzing what is happening on the field,” de Villiers said. “The bowling was poor at times. But a score of 227 runs means that the pitch is in favor of batting. RCB proved that with their batting,” he said.
