"He Was Magical": Sanjay Bangar Reminisces AB de Villiers' Royal Challengers Bangalore Stint Before IPL Mega Auction

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will be without the services of the now-retired South African star batter AB de Villiers for the first time in over a decade when the Indian Premier League 2022 (IPL 2022) season begins later this year. With the IPL 2022 mega auction being held in Bengaluru on Saturday and Sunday, RCB will be keen to land a big-hitter or two in the mould of De Villiers as they attempt to build a squad strong enough to challenge for a maiden IPL title.

South Africa's U19 World Cup Star Dewald Brevis Reacts To Comparisons With AB de Villiers

South Africa young batter Dewald Brevis has said that it is a huge honour for him to be called "Baby AB de Villiers". Brevis' heroics at the U19 World Cup have led to comparisons with Proteas legend AB de Villiers. The style and class of the youngster have seen him dubbed 'Baby AB', something he is also extremely flattered about. "To be called Baby AB...I don't even know what to say. I am nowhere near what AB de Villiers was. He is a guy I grew up idolising, he was my role model from the first time I watched cricket. But I love being called that, it's a real honour and surreal," the official website of Cricket South Africa (CSA) quoted Brevis as saying.
