IPL 2019, Match 1, CSK vs RCB: 3 things the fans would be looking forward to

#2. The return of ABD, “Mr 360” for RCB

AB de Villiers dropped a bombshell last year when he announced his retirement from all forms of the game. A cricketer who redefined the way modern day batsmen think and execute their game, is loved by one and all.

He thankfully hasn’t given up on playing franchise T20 cricket across the globe. He looked in fine touch in the MSL and also in the PSL prior to the IPL 2019. As a cricketer and batsman, he is in reasonably good touch.

But the fact that is wherever he goes in India during the IPL, he is greeted with chants of AB, AB, AB, AB! That for sure will ensure he puts on a show for RCB’s fans and everyone else watching the IPL.

ABD is a complete entertainer and he sure will do just that- entertain when he steps out at the Chepauk later on today.
