AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli have spent a long period of time together at the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and they share a great bond.

The Kohli-De Villiers duo was one of the most destructive duos in the history of the Indian Premier League and they even hold the record for the biggest partnership in the history of the tournament.

Meanwhile, the legendary Proteas batter has said that a batter is just a couple of bad knocks away from losing his form and making a comeback from it is always a difficult part.

“As a batter, you are only one or two bad knocks away from bad form. If it keeps coming at you it is difficult to bounce back from it,” the former Proteas captain was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.

De Villiers further added that the mind and power of the mind are the main battles for a player. He said that a player doesn’t become a bad player overnight and Kohli is fully aware of this fact. He also said that Kohli just needs a clear mind and fresh energy to bounce back strong.

“I cannot put a percentage to it but it is the mind and power of the mind which is the main battle. You do not become a bad player overnight. Virat would know it and I know it. I think it’s the way you think and set your mind. You need a clear mind and fresh energy whenever you play and then you can find a way out of a hole,” he added.
