IPL 2018: 5 players that RCB must retain to win their first IPL title

#2 AB de Villiers

AB de Villiers remains one of the most dangerous batsmen to play the game

AB de Villiers is among the most dangerous batsmen to ever play the game. His ability to innovate and target unique areas in the field have made the bowlers hapless in many crunch situations. The acrobatic right hand-hander has hit three centuries and twenty-two fifties across numerous editions of the IPL.

The dynamic cricketer was acquired for $1.1 million by RCB during the 2011 auction. Since then, he has become a crucial batsman for the franchise by transforming the top-order into a power-packed unit. The former South Africa skipper has scored a total of 1200 runs in the 8th and 9th editions of the tournament. He will be close to the top of the list of players likely to be retained by the Royal Challengers.
