Is AB de Villiers Returning To The Royal Challengers Bangalore? Virat Kohli “”Spills The Beans” AB de Villiers was one of the RCB’s biggest stars. But he announced his retirement from all forms of cricket ahead of the current season.
Former South African cricketer AB de Villiers was one of the biggest names in the Indian Premier League, but he announced his retirement from all forms of cricket ahead of the current season. De Villiers, aptly nicknamed Mr 360, was one of the most important players for RCB over the years, frequently rescuing them from difficult situations. RCB are in contention for a play-off spot this season, but his absence has been felt by the team, particularly in a few defeats where the batting has let them down.
Former RCB captain Virat Kohli, who has been with the franchise since the first IPL season, had a close relationship with the South African maestro, and their partnerships in the middle have become iconic for the team.
