Pudhari Online Desk : When I met Virat Kohli for the first time, he was a bit cocky and proud, such a shocking statement was made by former RCB legend AB de Villiers. In a show, Chris Gayle has revealed that he is answering a question.

Friendship between Virat Kohli and AB De Villiers is well known. Off the field, both the veterans have immense respect for each other. But how such a strong friendship developed between the two is something to know. Royal Challengers Bangalore played together in the Indian Premier League. Both have created many memorable partnerships. But now de Villiers has revealed what he would have felt when he met Kohli for the first time.

Chris Gayle interviewed ABD in one of RCB’s talk shows. At that time, questions were raised about Ab De Villiers’ first meeting with Kohli. Answering this, ABD said, ‘Yes, the question has come to the attention of many times. At the first meeting, Virat was very proud and arrogant. So with his different hairstyle, he would have been seen trying to blow. At that moment, I felt that it was necessary to have his feet on the ground. But after playing together in many competitions, a good bond was formed between us. After that my perspective of looking at him completely changed. My respect for Virat increased. I played for RCB under his leadership.

Kohli (Virat kohli) and de Villiers are one of the strongest batting pair in the history of IPL. Both have created five century partnerships and two double century partnerships in IPL career. The highest partnership in the history of the league was Vikramhi or the pair’s name. Virat-ABD shared a 229-run partnership for the second wicket in just 97 deliveries against Gujarat Lions in the 2016 IPL tournament.

AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle were inducted into RCB’s ‘Hall of Fame’. De Villiers joined RCB in 2011 and played for the franchise till his retirement in 2021, while Gayle played for Bangalore from 2011-2017 before moving to Punjab Kings in 2018.

Gayle is the greatest batsman to have played in IPL. Many Vikramchi have been registered on his boat. On the other hand, de Villiers has scored the most number of runs in the history of the league. He has scored 5162 runs in 184 innings at an average of 39.70 and a strike rate of 151.68. Despite this, RCB failed to get the title of IPL winner.
