If they could, the 3 fellows would be in their national T20 sides and they aren't. What they could do in the past doesn't mean they can do now.
Precisely my point , you do agree that they were good at some point of their career. Age has caught up with them hence the exclusion from their respective T20 national team. But age hardly plays a role in IPL ,now does it ? Bangalore does have young talent , so to blame the senior players for each and every loss is a pretty lame excuse.
How doesn't age not play a role
Its a yong mans sport. Even Dada was under pressure. ANd none of these guys are athletic enough to run. They look to hide themselves on the field.

If u say they have been excluded from T20 national team coz of age then IPL is same. And infact in IPL u need to be more fit thaqn test where u can almost sleep on a long on or long off boundaries with a sip of pepsi (though no cheer girl to open the bottle there)
Performance is irrelevant in IPL , they are here not for their performance but for their star power. So much has been invested in these players that despite of poor performance they will never be dropped. Its the young talent which will ultimately suffer.
