He wrote: Throwback to a very very special picture.Very few people in my life have connected with me like my dear friend AB and i share the most wonderful bond with this great man. So much to learn from him all the time. If you ever want a role model for any walk of life, he is IT. @abdevilliers17 .#topman#greathuman”
Both the players have made memorable knocks for Royal Challengers Bangalore with each one complimenting the skills of the other player. The players have come closer as both of them have been playing for the same franchise for over six years now and have huge respect for one another.
It is a known fact the duo alongside Chris Gayle have taken RCB to a side to beat in Indian Premier League as the trio have made many impossible things come true. The duo have been the most reliable partners in entire IPL and are the top batsmen in the world with AB de Villiers being World No.1 in ODIs followed by Virat Kolhi at No.2.
It is not normal to see such friendship at the highest level especially considering the fact that both play for different nations and rival for supremacy to become the best batsman in the world. Let’s hope their friendship grows more stronger in the future.
