5 cricketers who are in awe of Virat Kohli

#2 AB de Villiers

When the two best batsmen in the world play for the same team, plenty of records are bound to be broken. ‘Mr. 360’ and the Indian batting maestro easily have the best partnership in the IPL. AB and Kohli set a 229-run record second-wicket partnership in their game against Gujarat Lions, including a century each, in the same game.

The threatening RCB-duo has always appreciated each other's game, and has often spoken about how they compliment each other on the field and build momentum. The two legends have often said that they share a special bond even off the field.

In a recent interview, AB hailed his Skipper, saying

“I have watched him closely during the past few weeks, often from the non-striker’s end, and I have marvelled at his confidence, his special ability to hit the ball into gaps in the field and his talent for pacing an innings to perfection”

“Virat Kohli is pure class, world class.”

What a guy! Always a pleasure to watch & play with @ABdeVilliers17 #RCBvGL #IPL2016 pic.twitter.com/roLKcWxztJ
