The ongoing season of Indian Premier League (IPL) has enjoyed its share of moments and controversies, however, the tournament has been nothing less than a nightmare for the Royal Challengers (RCB) that has been on a losing spree, losing all their six games played so far.

The franchise boosting the likes of skipper Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers seem unable to find a winning formula. Mr.360 believes that the abysmal show has got more to do with fielding rather than other aspects of the game.

“More often than not, in cricket, you can assess the state of a team by the way they field. Each player is a batsman or a bowler, and it is understandable that their primary focus is on batting or bowling… but every player is also a fielder and, in my view, you need a collective hunger and desire to operate as a strong unit in the field,” De Villiers wrote, reported Times in India.

“Maybe that’s where we are failing. Our fielding in this tournament has been very poor, and we simply can’t afford to be dropping multiple chances in every match,” he added.
