In the modern day cricket, there is no doubt about the fact that Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers stand are the most iconic names. It is an absolute delight for the cricket fans to see these two playing together in the Indian Premier League (IPL). They form the core of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) batting lineup in the tournament. Also, it is heartening to see the amount of respect the two players have for one another.
During a recent match of RCB against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), AB de Villiers stunned one and all when he took a catch which grabbed from outside the boundary ropes. He took an implausible catch to dismiss Alex Hales in the game. After the game, the RCB skipper Virat Kohli hailed the catch as ‘spiderman’stuff.

Talking about the catch, Kohli said, “That was Spiderman stuff. You don’t do that as normal human beings. I thought it was going for a six but he pulled it off, then the jump and then the balance. I mean he can do freakish things but I am used to it now. His shots still leave me in awe but his fielding I am pretty used to now.”
Virat reemphasized the same and took to his social media handles to post another update on the same. He posted a picture of a flying AB de Villiers and captioned him as Spider-Man again. He wrote:“Saw #SpiderMan Live today! @abdevilliers17 #RCBvsSRH #IPL2018″.
AB was quick to see the post and responded with a comment that read, ‘Oh biscuit’. The fans wondered what that meant. Well, earlier, AB had remarked that he likes to share nicknames with Virat. ABD quoted, “There has never been any kind of rivalry between us because we have grown to understand and respect each other. ‘Come on, you little biscuit.’ ‘OK, let’s play, you little beauty.’ Virat and I share a liking for nicknames, and we have become very tight over all these years.”
