Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers share a great camaraderie and the duo has talked about it time and again. From destroying bowlers on the field to sharing multiple anecdotes in the dressing room, Kohli and de Villiers have done it all. The whole world also admires the bond between the two players.
They have played for eleven seasons together for RCB. But as every story comes to an end, the Kohli-de Villiers partnership also came to an end after the South African great hung his boots last season. Now, every RCB fan and Kohli himself miss the services of the Proteas cricketer.
Virat has once again openly talked about how he misses his good friend in the RCB camp and his valuable tips in the nets. Kohli also hoped to win the title this year for ABD. "I miss AB a lot. He used to give me some tips during net sessions. He creates the funniest atmosphere in the team. Hopefully, we will win the title for him," said Kohli on Star Sports.
This franchise has given me everything: Kohli
The ex-RCB captain also reflected on his long association with the Bengaluru-based franchise and said that RCB has probably given him everything. Kohli said that the faith the RCB management showed him in the first three years was the most special thing for him.
"What this RCB Franchise has given me in terms of opportunities in the first 3 years and believed in me that is the most special thing because as I said there are many teams who had opportunities but they didn't back me, they didn't believe in me," said Kohli.
Notably, Virat Kohli is the only cricketer in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) who has stayed with the same franchise since the inception of the league.
