AB de Villiers turned up as the best batsman for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in IPL 2020. He is the third-highest scorer in the team, only 19 behind the top scorer Devdutt Padikkal. But when you see the combination of runs, average, and strike-rate, De Villiers is ahead of Devdutt and Virat Kohli.
While De Villiers has scored 454 runs with a strike-rate of 158.74, Devdutt managed 473 with a strike-rate of just 124.80, and Kohli striking at 121.35 for his 466 runs. But when RCB was criticized after getting knocked out of IPL 2020, Boria Majumdar, a senior sports journalist, slammed the South African batsman.
Boria refused to call De Villiers a match-winner and said he couldn't make RCB win a single title despite being with the franchise for 10 years. It was unfair of him to target the 36-year-old. His comments infuriated the fans on social media and he was lambasted by the fans.

Here are the reactions from fans:
