De Villiers surprised himself
De Villiers surprised himself
AB de Villiers' batting storm is one of the most regular scenes in cricket. But a break of 6 months is not a chatty thing. After such a long time, de Villiers himself was shocked by the stormy innings.
All the cricketers around the world were out of the field due to the outbreak of coronavirus. However, de Villiers' break had started earlier. He has already said goodbye to international cricket. He also played franchise cricket selectively. He played in the Big Bash match on January 26. That was his last recognized match before the IPL this time.
But he did not lose the edge of his bat at the time of losing. Royal Challengers Bangalore played a great innings of 51 off 30 balls in the IPL on Monday. Going to the wicket in the twelfth over, he met the demand of the situation.
In a conversation after the match on Star Sports, commentator Michael Slater asked de Villiers if such an innings from his bat is certainly not surprising! In response, de Villiers said the opposite with a smile.
“It's a big surprise for me! Honestly, I surprised myself. It is very satisfying to be able to start a 36-year-old man who has not been in Khero too much, this young man has come to play among all the stars. The most comforting thing is that the basics seem to be going well. ”
Bangalore started the tournament with a 10-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad on the day of de Villiers' storm.
