South Africa great AB de Villiers has backed his former Royal Challengers Bengaluru teammate Virat Kohli to be at his usual best in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League, starting in Chennai on Friday.

De Villiers termed Kohli's IPL career as "incredible" after the star India batter holds the highest run-scorer feat in the event, amassing 7,263 runs in 200 matches.
