NEW DELHI: AB de Villiers, the esteemed cricketer from South Africa, has expressed confidence in his former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) teammate, Virat Kohli, ahead of the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). With the tournament set to commence in Chennai on Friday, de Villiers has backed Kohli to showcase his customary brilliance on the field.
Despite a hiatus of almost two months from competitive cricket, during which Kohli opted out of the recently-concluded Test series against England due to the birth of his son, Akaay, de Villiers remains assured of Kohli's capabilities.
