IPL 2018: 3 players that RCB should retain 

#2 AB de Villiers

Mr. Consistent

AB de Villiers's major recognition and aura in the IPL began when he joined RCB in 2011. Since then, ABD, with his ability to stabilise the innings and accelerate run-scoring, has been their mainstay batsman in the middle order.

He had a mediocre run with RCB last year, scoring just 216 runs in the nine matches that he played. At 33, de Villiers might have reached a point where he cannot quite replicate his previous successes, but his latest innings vs Bangladesh (where he smashed 176 runs) is proof that he is not done yet.

There is enough reason for RCB's franchise owners to invest in a man who has been consistent for them through the years.
