Former Indian opener, Aakash Chopra was seen showering praises at the brilliant effort of AB de Villiers which helped Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) win their IPL 2021 match against Delhi Capitals (DC) on Tuesday, April 27. His unbeaten knock of 75 runs helped RCB to post an above-par total, which they were able to defend by just one run.

After losing the toss and batting first, RCB needed a batsman to help them reach a good score. AB de Villiers stayed till the end and smashed 23 runs off the last over to ensure that RCB reached a total of 171 for 5. Despite wickets falling around him and Delhi bowling well, he soaked the pressure for his team. While talking on his Youtube video, Chopra said that De Villiers should try closing his eyes and batting as it is getting too easy for him at this moment.

A couple of weeks back, ABD played a whirlwind knock against Kolkata when he smashed 76 from 34 balls on a pretty difficult wicket. Talking about him, Aakash Chopra said, “It was the AB de Villiers show. He is Superman, unbelievable. It was something only he could do. He should bat with his eyes closed or else it becomes too easy for him or he should play with the edge of the bat or play with the bat’s edge with his eyes closed.”

He further added, “It was difficult to bat on this pitch because the ball was staying low and it is tough to hit the ball in the air when the ball is striking low on the bat. Bounce is important to hit the sixes but he is AB de Villiers. He has software to change good balls also to bad deliveries.”
