One of two mainstays of the RCB batting line up, AB de Villiers would be back for the next game. If things go as per plan, fans would get to see the lethal combination of ABD and Virat in the blockbuster Saturday afternoon game against CSK.
RCB missed the services of the Superman from South Africa for the last two games against Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians as he was down with viral. After a lukewarm IPL 2017, ABD is back for Bangalore for this year in full flow. Mr 360 has scored 280 runs in 6 games this year with an explosive strike rate of 184.21 and an awe-inspiring average of 56.
Bringing in some good news for his fans, AB de Villiers himself informed his fans about the development. ABD said that he feels a lot better and is expectant of making the playing XI against CSK.
“I am finally feeling like a human again. I picked up a horrible virus that kept me in bed for 4 days. I am finally up on my feet again. Unfortunately, I missed two games for RCB which is not ideal. Like I said I am feeling a lot better and hoping I do get picked in the next game but I am close to 100 percent and I will definitely ready to go come the next game against CSK in Pune which is a very big aim for us,” ABD said.
Brendon McCullum who filled in for de Villiers in the last two games did decent enough with scores of 37 and 38 in the last two games. Now, with the South African fit and available, it would be interesting to see who Virat drops to let in ABD in the side.
