Recently, ABD appeared on The RCB Podcast and talking about his journey with RCB, the former Proteas cricketer said that RCB is like a family to him and the 10-11 years that he spent with the Bangalore franchise were life-changing years of his life. He stated that just like any other family, this RCB family also has ups and downs, beautiful rides, some great relationships out of which few went sour and a little bit of everything. AB de Villiers says that he has no regrets and RCB has given him amazing years.
