Yuzvendra Chahal implores AB De Villiers to come out of retirement to play for IPL franchise: Know more
Royal Challengers Bangalore and Indian fans on the whole have a special respect for AB De Villiers. The former South African great was revered and loved in India like no other overseas player in the past. During his playing career, AB De Villiers also spoke very highly about India.
During his 100th test match, AB De Villiers was given a rousing reception in Bangalore. The 39-year-old had written about how he felt when his book came out after his retirement. Despite being retired for two years, many fans still want the man called Mr.360 to make a comeback to play in the IPL.
Yuzvendra Chahal was recently in conversation with his former RCB teammate. The fun-filled conversation included Chahal requesting AB De Villiers. The former South African legend then raised hopes a little about his future with his answer.
Yuzvendra Chahal wants AB De Villiers to make IPL comeback
Former South African and Royal Challengers Bangalore legend AB De Villiers was in conversation with Yuzvendra Chahal. The two former IPL teammates were seen having a chat with each other on the South African’s official YouTube channel.
Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal came up with an invite to AB De Villiers to make an IPL comeback. The 33-year-old also told the former legendary batter to play for Rajasthan Royals a team which Chahal is part of. The conversation with Chahal playfully asked AB De Villiers asking if he could play one more season.
Answering the question, ABD asked “Do you think I have one more season in me? To which Chahal replied, “Yeah, Definitely, you can come to Rajasthan now”. The answer drew laughter from both sides as Chahal knows the loyalty AB De Villiers has toward RCB.
The next statement from AB De Villiers though has raised the hopes of fans a little bit. “You, Know I was playing with the kids in the nets yesterday and I picked up those small bats that came up to my knee. But I hit a couple in the middle of the bat and I felt, maybe I should hit a couple of balls and have a feel for it again.”
Not one to be outdone, Yuzvendra Chahal had the last word when he said “Even at 50-60, you can hit sixes. There is no doubt in that”. The lanky spinner is currently in South Africa for the three-match ODI series. Team India holds a 1-0 lead ahead of the second game in Gqeberha to be played on Tuesday.
