Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir has definitely raised some eyebrows with his outrageous take on AB de Villiers’ incredible career with Royal Challengers Banglore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). With the next edition of domestic cricket’s biggest extravaganza almost around the corner, the former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) skipper has taken a wild swipe at one of the greatest players in the history of IPL.
Former South Africa skipper De Villiers played for Delhi Capitals (DC) and RCB in his 13-year-long IPL career. Former Indian opener Gambhir expressed his reservations about admitting De Villiers as one of the best batters in the Indian Premier League. According to the former two-time IPL winner, De Villiers only managed to smash personal records in the world’s richest T20 league during his stint at RCB.
“If AB de Villiers plays in a small ground like Chinnaswamy Stadium for 8-10 years, any player might have the same strike rate or ability. So Suresh Raina 4 IPL titles, unfortunately, de Villiers only personal records,” Gambhir told Star Sports. Gambhir’s noteworthy remarks have created quite a stir on social media. The former Indian batter and full-time cricket pundit was slammed by RCB fans for his objectionable remarks against the former South Africa skipper.
