IPL star and one of the most followed international cricketers in India, AB de Villiers has said that he liked being back in the miz and getting reunited with his teammates. The IPL had to be postponed after it was marred by Covid-19 in May this year during its India leg.
Now that the league is restarting in UAE once again from where it had left India, de Villiers, who has travelled all the way from South Africa is getting ready to face the heat.
"I have covered a couple of guys tonight and it's nice to hear all the stories and what they got up to in the last couple of months. There's some interesting stuff that has happened and, it's great to be together as a team again,” the former South Africa captain said in a video posted by RCB at their official Twitter handle.
“I have missed the guys. I have caught up with a couple of individuals and I will get to meet up with the older guys over the next few days,” he added talking about meeting the likes of RCB skipper Virat Kohli who is still in isolation having travelled from England after early after the cancellation of the fifth Test.
The 37-year-old de Villiers was speaking on the sidelines of a bet session and he said that although he enjoyed it a lot, but is getting old to be batting in such humid conditions.
“Bowlers bowled very well and it's humid here, we are gonna sweat a lot which is good for losing a bit of weight but for an old man like me, I need to stay fresh as much as I can," he said.
RCB, who are currently placed third in the points table, open their campaign in UAE against Kolkata Knight Riders, who are placed seventh.
