Along with the video, De Villiers wrote an adorable caption as he thanked his father for being his role model and always standing by his side during the tough times. The 37-year-old also revealed the reason behind his favorite song. The veteran stated that he likes “I won’t give up” by Jason Mraz as it gives him the feeling that God is always there with him.

Glenn Maxwell leaves a cheeky comment on AB de Villiers’ post

“On the 29th we celebrated my father’s 70th bday and I had the privilege to perform one of my all-time favorite songs with my beautiful wife. We all interpret songs in our own unique way, this song has a particularly special meaning to me and reminds me that God is always there, no matter what happens. While singing this song on the 29th and looking across the room to my Dad, it also reminded me how lucky I’ve been to have had him by my side as a role model for so many years.”
