The Indian cricketer Virat Kohli has been associated with RCB since the start of the IPL in 2008 and both Virat and AB de Villiers share a strong bond with each other. The presence of some giants like Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Chris Gayle, etc. in RCB made it one of the strongest teams of the league in many seasons but unluckily RCB hasn’t been able to lift the trophy even once.

While AB de Villiers, Virat Kohli and Chris Gayle can easily be called the top players of the shortest format, the former Proteas cricketer picked a different name when he was asked to choose the greatest T20 player.

AB de Villiers neither took his name nor the names of his friends and teammates but he chose Afghanistan cricketer Rashid Khan as the greatest T20 player.
