In a video posted on RCB’sofficial Twitter handle, AB de Villiers said, “I don’t want to say. It’s embarrassing. I think I mentioned four points. We spoke about a couple of things away from the game and then also a couple of technical things but it was very basic. I have been wanting to tell him for quite a while”

AB de Villiers then proceeds to take his phone out of his pocket and reveals what exactly he messaged Virat Kohli.
