Win Projections to be updated soon
#1 AB de Villiers
Talk about the most popular overseas player in IPL, there can be no other than AB de Villiers. The South African receives grand applause each time he walks out to bat. Even though he plays for Royal Challengers Bangalore, he is loved equally on every Indian venue. He is one overseas batsman who matches the reception to that of Virat Kohli or MS Dhoni.
Having retired from international cricket last year, de Villiers is only active in T20 leagues around the world. Going by his recent performances, it seems as if the form hasn’t dipped at all. RCB would dearly want him to come into the IPL with the touch he has maintained even after retirement.
When AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli bat together, there isn’t a better sight in world cricket. The two classy batsmen always put up a spectacle that fans drool on. With the pressure of international cricket lifted from his shoulders, it will bring an even more relaxed ABD to IPL.
