The friendship between Indian captain Virat Kohli and former South Africa captain AB de Villiers is well known to all. They both play for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League (IPL). AB de Villiers shared some interesting stories about their friendship. He even said that if it wasn’t for mosquitoes in India, they would have left their doors open and shared a house with their families. Kohli and his wife Bollywood superstar Anushka Sharma treat them pretty well, no matter the time is. However, de Villiers referred to Kohli as a ‘ridiculous man’ because Kohli gives him gifts whenever he complains about anything.

“We are neighbours. If it wasn’t for the mosquitoes here, we would’ve left our doors open and probably would’ve shared a big room. Anushka’s here all the time, my family is there, the kids are running around. The kids were knocking on his door, early in the morning waking him up. He would let them in and would have coffee together. They were so good with the kids. We spent hours in the pool together, everyone just jumping and diving, and they’re so chilled,” said De Villiers when he featured in an episode for Breakfast with Champions.

“I’m scared of saying anything to him now because. If I say like, “Oh, I like your shoes.” The next minute he organizes me those shoes. I’m like, “Virat, just stop it”. He looks after everyone. I was like, “My phone is flat again.” “Oh, you need a power bank.” There you go. Now it’s mine. He’s ridiculous, man. I told him I like coffee the other day. Now I’m getting an espresso machine- he’s ordered on Amazon. It’s being delivered tomorrow,” de Villiers further added.

However, Kohli is all set to travel with the whole team to England where the ICC World Cup will be held from May 30.
