De Villiers was seen speaking on a live Instagram session with Louie Giglio from Atlanta, Georgia. He mentioned that he still has a few more years ahead of him to play.
"I can't explain to you, it is very difficult to put it into words. All I can say is it's a dream come true, playing at the IPL, having broken a world record or two, playing in front of the crowds, and then realizing my teammates are also in awe...I've had the privilege of experiencing those moments once or twice, maybe three or four times at the IPL, for South Africa.
"As I said, it has exceeded all expectations and hopefully, there are a few more years ahead of me," he said in the video.
The second phase of IPL 2021 will kick off on September 19 in UAE. RCB have won five of their first seven games and they are currently third on the points table.
