It is well known that De Villiers had a phenomenal experience playing for IPL side RCB, and his friendship with captain Virat Kohli was obvious to everyone. Aside from their on-field accomplishments, they also enjoyed their wonderful bonding off the field. However, as soon as AB retired from cricket, Kohli rushed to social media to praise the greatest player of all time.
Very proud of what you’ve done: Virat On ABD
“To the best player of our times and the most inspirational person I’ve met, you can be very proud of what you’ve done and what you’ve given to RCB my brother. Our bond is beyond the game and will always be. This hurts my heart but I know you’ve made the best decision for yourself and your family as you’ve always done. I love you,” said Virat Kohli earlier on ABD.
