If there are two current favorite and best cricketers in the world then they are none other than the Indian Skipper Virat Kohli and the Proteas batsman AB De Villiers. No way one can ignore their brilliance with their willows. RCB has always got a team with big star-studded players yet failed to perform up to their worth. This year too they started off on the same note losing three matches in first four games.

Trent Woodhill who is RCB’s Talent development and Fielding Coach heaved huge praises on the stars of the team Virat Kohli and AB De Villiers. He said Kohli is an excellent player and is so fit that he seldom might play some lazy shots.

“He’s definitely fitter than he’s ever been. What that allows you to do is under pressure, you’re able to replicate technique and replicate movement patterns. So he’s less likely than others to play a lazy shot or not execute the way he’d like because his fitness and his mind is so sharp. And that’s where that brilliance lies. And he’s extremely talented as well, so it’s not just hard work.” Trent said to Wisden India.

Trent further compared both the players to the Tennis stars Roger Federer and Nadal. He said they are champions as they can easily adapt to any tricky situations on the field. According to him, De Villiers is the smartest player he has ever seen on the field and training.

“AB trains smarter than anybody I’ve worked with. In Kohli and AB, you’ve got the Nadal and Federer of the cricket world. AB and Federer share a similar DNA I think, and the same with Nadal and Kohli. The point’s never dead for Nadal, and the point’s never dead for Virat. And AB, he finds a way as Federer does, in conditions where others struggle,” he concluded.
