AB De Villiers confirms he won’t return as a player

In an interaction through Twitter Spaces, AB de Villiers said, “I will return to Chinnaswamy next year, not for playing but to thank all the fans for the support over a decade”.

While during the IPL 2022 AB de Villiers had said, “I will be around RCB next year, I am missing it, don’t know in which capacity but I would like to visit my second home which is Chinnaswamy stadium — I am looking forward to it”

His statement during the IPL 2022 allowed some rumors to spread and the cricket fans started believing that they’ll see their favorite star back in the RCB jersey.

The former South African batter had scored both the fastest fifty and the fastest hundred off 16 balls and 31 balls respectively in 2018.

AB had started his IPL journey with Delhi Daredevils and then moved to Royal Challengers Bangalore team way back in 2011 and played 11 seasons with them till 2021 being the most impactful RCB player ever.
