Virat Kohli is one of the world’s greatest batsmen: AB de Villiers

Royal Challengers Bangalore perhaps has the most explosive batting line-up with them. Their top four consists of Chris Gayle Shane Watson, Virat Kohli, and AB de Villiers. The most famous at present is currently the skipper of the side – Virat Kohli.

Kohli has been in scorching form and has mesmerized the best in the business with his effortless stroke play. His team-mate AB de Villiers also seems to be in total awe of the Indian batting ace, calling him one of the greatest in the world.

Writing a column for The Hindu, AB heaped praise on Virat, terming him as one of the greatest batsmen in world cricket.

“Virat is one of the world’s greatest batsmen, combining an unmatched ability to dispatch the ball with pin-point accuracy with exceptional running between the wickets; there is nobody in the game with the same talent for finding the spaces in the field,” wrote de Villiers on what makes the Indian ace special.

AB de Villiers also wrote about his big-hitting team mate Chris Gayle and all-rounder Shane Watson in his column.

“Chris is another of the world’s greatest batsmen, the master of the power game. He reads the game unbelievably well and is quick to assess any weakness in the bowler. He will patiently wait for the right moment to pounce but, when he does, he will send the ball to all corners of any field,” he wrote.

“It’s also great to see Shane Watson playing for RCB this season. I am in awe of the Australian’s bowling ability and the way he works over the batsman.”

Presence of such biggies in one dressing room often breed rivalry and bitter air but AB de Villiers cleared that there was no possibilities of any rivalry breeding among the batting superstars.

“There is no rivalry between us. We work together, encouraging and being encouraged, urging and being urged, feeding off each other’s knowledge and experience to ensure the best possible team performance on the field,” wrote the champion batsman.
