AB de Villiers:
South Africa’s batting maverick AB de Villiers, one of the most loved cricketers in India, is associated with the league since the very beginning. He first represented Delhi Daredevils but was later bought by the Royal Challengers Bangalore for USD 1.1 million at the Player Auction 2011. De Villiers has been always a threat to the opposition. His aggressive instinct coupled with the athleticism made him a highly valuable individual for RCB. His popularity rocketed skywards when he unleashed a range of unorthodox and never seen before shots against Dale Steyn in the 2012 season. He has been a completely different menace for the bowler from that day.
