#1 AB de Villiers
Abraham Benjamin de Villiers is one of the IPL’s most celebrated players. AB has been a part of the IPL for all 10 seasons and has played for 2 teams; Delhi Daredevils and Royal Challengers Bangalore. He has played under 4 captains, namely Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Daniel Vettori and Virat Kohli.
AB has captained South Africa in the international arena without too much success. It might seem a bit surprising that a top player like de Villiers, who has a wonderful connection with Indian fans, hasn’t got the opportunity to captain the side, but with Kohli in the team, he will always remain the second choice.
