On Wednesday, South African star cricketer AB de Villiers has surprisingly announced his retirement from the international cricket. Meanwhile, recently AB revealed the name of his favourite Indian cricketer.
In a recent chat show named “What the duck”, AB was present along with the former Protease cricketer Jonty Rhodes.
When AB was asked about his favourite Indian cricketer, he replied, “Viru bhai (Virender Sehwag).”
Jonty Rhodes was also asked the same question which he answered, “Suresh Raina.”
In that chat show, AB also spoke about the Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli who is also his long-time IPL (Indian Premier League) team member as both are playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).

Talking about Kohli, AB said, “That’s what I like about him as a player. He is competitive… No matter which team he plays for, he wants to win, he wants to have an impact on the game and very similar to me although I don’t show it as much as he does on the field.”
RCB had a disappointing season in IPL 2018. While Kohli (530 runs) and de Villiers (480 runs) were in the superb form with the bat as they were the two most runs-scorers for the team in this season, RCB finished at the sixth position in the points table with 12 points. Despite they had a poor start, RCB was very close to reaching the playoffs, but ultimately they just failed to secure that.
Just after the RCB’s campaign finished in IPL 2018, AB stunned the cricketing world by announcing his retirement from the international cricket.

During that announcement, the former South African cricket team skipper revealed that he was tired. Speaking about his present condition, he further added, “running out of gas”.
However, AB will be available for the domestic cricket, but the cricket world will not see him anymore in the international cricket.
