AB de Villiers, former Royal Challengers Bengaluru player, spoke about the challenges of winning the IPL, highlighting the tough competition from 10 world-class teams, travel fatigue, injuries, and adapting to different conditions throughout the season. He expressed his hope that RCB will lift the trophy in the upcoming 18th season, with Virat Kohli leading the charge wearing jersey number 18.
De Villiers, known for his dynamic playing style and wide range of shots, also shared a funny anecdote about getting into trouble with Kohli for repeatedly saying “Ee sala cup namde.” The South African cricketer mentioned that Kohli asked him to stop saying it as he was tired of hearing it.
RCB is gearing up to face Kolkata Knight Riders in the season opener on March 22, with players like Rajat Patidar, Josh Hazlewood, and Liam Livingstone in the squad for IPL 2025. The team will be looking to make the most of their home advantage and maintain energy and momentum to secure a successful season.
