Former South Africa, AB de Villiers seems to be the person who is capable of doing every possible thing on this planet. His talent is not limited to just sports. His fans are well aware of the fact that De Villiers played tennis, rugby, badminton, football, and hockey alongside cricket while growing up, but very few people knew that he could play the guitar and sing as well.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), shared a video of the 37-year-old with a guitar on Wednesday, performing at the birthday party of his father who recently turned 70. Accompanying him in the performance was his wife Danielle, who has been known for her beautiful singing.

De Villiers added that while singing when he looked across the room to his dad, it reminded him how lucky he had been to have had him by his side as a role model for so many years. AB de Villiers in his post wrote: “We all interpret songs in our own unique way, this song has a particularly special meaning to me and reminds me that God is always there, no matter what happens. Thanks, Anton Botha for your time and effort. Your incredible set after our performance completed a very special evening”.

Following a great run in IPL 2021, AB De Villiers was having some discussion with Cricket South Africa regarding his potential return to international cricket, which he had quit back in 2018. However, to fans’ disappointment, the board last month issued a statement saying the former Proteas skipper had decided not to return to the national squad.
