AB DE VILLIERS
The South African legend AB de Villiers will have to lead with aggression as his skipper Virat Kohli holds the other end up for his side. The ‘Superman’ as the fans call him as been a wonderful ambassador for RCB over the years.
Fans would be expecting highly of him yet again and the 36-year-old won’t be looking to disappoint them. A well-rested AB de Villiers is hungry for runs in the UAE and the pitches in the country will provide him with plenty of opportunities to score them. With the IPL teams pitching in with spinners, AB will be a big threat as he prefers to play spin.
