Former South African cricketer AB de Villiers has expressed his desire to see ex-Indian skipper Virat Kohli participating in the SA20 League post his international career. While Indian players are typically restricted from joining T20 leagues worldwide, de Villiers hopes that Kohli, after retirement, will make an appearance in the BetWay SAT20 League.<\/p>\n
Both de Villiers and Kohli share a camaraderie developed during their stint as teammates at Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). With mutual respect and admiration, de Villiers, in an interview with India Today, stated, \u201cGet Virat over here. Definitely, Virat. Get Virat over there. Hopefully, as soon as he\u2019s done with his career, come and play one season in the BetWay SAT20. That would be amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kohli, renowned for his stellar IPL performances, has accumulated 7263 runs in 237 matches, boasting an average of 77.25, featuring 7 centuries and 50 half-centuries. De Villiers\u2019 suggestion adds an exciting prospect to the future of SA20 League, envisioning Kohli\u2019s participation.<\/p>\n
Moreover, de Villiers didn\u2019t rule out the possibility of his own return to RCB, expressing his affection for the team and its fans. While he didn\u2019t confirm a comeback in IPL 2024, he stated, \u201cI hope so. I mean, my heart is with the RCB. I\u2019ve played there for many, many years. I\u2019ve got a very good connection with the fans of Bangalore, and I\u2019ll always be appreciative for all the support and love over the years. I can\u2019t guarantee anything, but I would absolutely love to see myself in the RCB colors again in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
