AB de Villiers Reacts To Virat Kohli's Animated Reaction After Hitting Kesrick Williams For A Six

The close bond between Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers is well known in the cricket fraternity. AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli have developed a strong friendship since becoming teammates in IPL in 2011. Since then, they have been the batting mainstays of Royal Challengers Bangalore and have been the best of friends off the field.

Time and again, one has seen the two showing respect for each other. In the past, both the cricketers have called each other the best in the world, thus proving that there is also mutual respect between the two. And AB de Villiers has proved once again just how close he is with his Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper.

AB de Villiers was reacting to a fan tweet after the latter said that Virat Kohli’s reaction to a six was inspired by the former South Africa captain. Kohli had come up with an animated reaction after hitting West Indies pacer Kesrick Williams for a huge six in the third T20I in Mumbai. The fan posted a photo of Kohli’s reaction and then wrote:

“He has definitely picked this from @ABdeVilliers17”.
