During his tenure as a player of RCB, AB de Villiers played in two IPL finals, losing out the chance to lift the trophy in 2011 and 2016.
Skipper Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers took charge of the innings and went on to register the highest-ever partnership in the IPL history.

The World Cup is scheduled to kick off on October 5, in India, and go on until November 19, when the final will be played in Ahmedabad.
