On Sunday afternoon, AB De Villiers scored an astonishing 76 off 34 balls consisting of 9 fours and 3 huge sixes against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Chennai. With this wonderful inning he took the total of RCB to 204 which once looked like will finish around 170-180.
And the performance in this IPL season is paving the way to the return in the SA team for T-20 World Cup.
Surely South Africa, “you have to find a way to play @ABdeVilliers17 in the #T20WorldCup. Surely.”

Earlier, Mark Boucher said that he might come back and it would be clearly a great boost for South Africa if he plays for them.
According to coach Mark Boucher, the discussion is still on the table and he will give a ‘shout’ to Ab de Villiers after IPL 2021.
Boucher stated that the conversation was ‘still very much open’ and he will communicate with Ab de Villiers again towards the back end of the ongoing IPL.
“I did chat to him before he went to the IPL,” Boucher said. “The conversation is still very much open. AB being the person he is, he wanted to perform very well at the IPL, to prove to himself and everyone else that he is still a very key figure in world cricket and could dominate at that level.
“I said to him: ‘go do your thing, and I’ll give you a shout towards the back end of the IPL.’ So that is where we are with him,” Boucher told reporters according to South Africa website timeslive.co.za.
