Delhi Daredevils had poisonous characters in team: AB de Villiers's shocking claim

In a recent interview with the Indian Premier League (IPL) legend reflected on his early years in the tournament and how the franchise struggled internally despite boasting a star-studded Villiers, who played for Delhi from 2008 to 2010, stopped short of naming individuals but offered a rare glimpse into the dysfunction behind the hate to give you names-burning people, you know-but the Delhi Daredevils were in shambles. There were a lot of poisonous characters in that team," he said. The squad, which featured cricketing heavyweights like Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Shikhar Dhawan, Glenn McGrath, and Daniel Vettori, failed to meet expectations. Despite making the playoffs in the first two seasons, the team never quite clicked."There were lots of legends, which makes it a bittersweet memory for me. I still remember those times fondly.

These were my heroes growing up, and I was honestly a bit scared of them," De Villiers his 2009 season in South Africa saw consistent performances, the following year brought frustration. A lack of playing time and clarity over his role led to disillusionment, ultimately prompting his departure from the was nice. I played almost the entire season in South Africa, came back, and I thought I was going to be the man. Then, all of a sudden, I wasn't playing again," he recalled."It was mixed feelings. I was told I would be retained, and then the next minute, I saw myself in the auction. I didn't even know what had happened. So many weird things went on."De Villiers eventually moved to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in 2011-a turning point in his IPL career. He immediately felt at home with his new team, which gave him the backing he had been missing."The day I walked into RCB, I felt like they wanted me to play every game. I was so surprised. They just went, 'You're the man. You're going to grow here. You're going to become a great player with us-you're part of the family.' Done and dusted."Though he retired from the IPL without winning the title as a player, De Villiers was in the stands when RCB finally clinched the trophy. He also celebrated a greater national triumph around the same time, watching South Africa defeat Australia to win the World Test Reel

AB de Villiers Reveals Why Virat Kohli Didn't Speak To Him For Months And How They Rebuilt Their Friendship
Former South Africa captain AB de Villiers has revealed that his close friendship with Indian cricket star Virat Kohli went through a rough patch, triggered by an unintentional slip-up during a livestream. The Pregnancy Leak That Sparked Silence In a recent interview with de Villiers hinted that Kohli didn't speak to him for months, possibly because of a personal incident. The former Proteas batter had confirmed during a livestream last year that Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma were expecting their second child news that hadn't been publicly shared at the time. This revelation came after Kohli withdrew from the Test series against England for personal reasons. A few days later, de Villiers clarified in another video that he had made a mistake and the information was incorrect at the time of sharing. 'I did have a bit of a footfall not too long ago when they were expecting their second child,' de Villiers admitted. 'So, I was very relieved when he started talking to me again.' Kohli and de Villiers Reunite After RCB's Title Win Despite the period of silence, the bond between the two cricketing greats seems to have been restored. Earlier this month, Kohli and de Villiers shared an emotional hug after Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) clinched their maiden IPL title by defeating Punjab Kings in the final. The duo, who formed one of the most celebrated batting partnerships in IPL history, were seen celebrating together on the field, rekindling memories of their golden years at the franchise. Kohli's Test Retirement and a Heartfelt Conversation De Villiers also spoke about Kohli's recent decision to retire from Test cricket, saying that the Indian batter had reached out to him for guidance during a tough phase in his career. 'He's been in touch with me over the last six months,' said de Villiers. 'We all know he went through a bit of a patch and sort of wanted to bounce a few ideas off me how I got through certain moments of my life.' He continued, 'I knew what kind of phase he was going through, considering his age and how many games he's played, and the dynamics of being in the team all the time the politics thereof as well. So, I shared with him from the heart what I felt and what I thought watching him on the screen.' Despite the past misunderstanding, de Villiers emphasized that he stands by Kohli and supports the choices he makes regarding his cricketing future. 'I'm happy he is still around playing cricket and that the decision (to retire from Tests) comes from the heart. I support him 100 percent with that,' de Villiers concluded.
