Royal Challengers Bangalore shared a montage of RCB’s training and player interaction where all-rounder Gurkeerat Singh can be seen getting advice from AB de Villiers. He also heaped praises on the former South African cricketer. AB De Villiers is the second top scorer in RCB’s history with 3724 runs at an average above 41. The Royal Challengers Bangalore squad have started their training after completing the mandatory quarantine.

RCB have reached the final thrice, under three different captains but the IPL title has never got in their hands. With a new coaching team, they would look to break the jinx and get their hands on the silverware.

Gurkeerat Singh Hails AB de Villiers and his kind advice

The Indian all-rounder was all praises for Veteran ABD who has been advising him on his batting. Gurkeerat revealed they talk very often even when there’s no IPL and he discusses his batting with him.

“I’ve been talking to them about technique, and how the wicket’s going to play. I’m comfortable talking to AB de Villiers about my batting. It definitely helps you and he’s one of the greats of the game.”

Even when there’s no IPL, we exchange texts and I like talking to him, about my batting especially. It’s good to have everybody’s opinion and then work on it.” Gurkeerat Singh said in the video released by RCB.

In the video, players can be seen practicing in the nets. The video also featured AB de Villiers giving advice to Gurkeerat Singh on his batting.

“If your wicket in the game is doing that, it’s probably best to get off strike. Or come out of your crease. It’s the deck, it’s not your technique. You’ve been hitting the ball very well. AB de Villiers’ advice to Gurkeerat Singh.
