Former South African cricketer AB de Villiers is poised to make a return to the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), but this time not as a player. The cricketing legend will likely join RCB as a mentor, providing valuable guidance and expertise to the team.
The development comes after Andy Flower was appointed as the new head coach for RCB. While there is yet to be an official confirmation on de Villiers’ role, he is expected to collaborate with the new coach to support the team.
AB de Villiers, fondly known as ABD, has been an iconic figure in the IPL and was an integral part of the RCB squad during his playing days. After retiring from international cricket, his return as a mentor will greatly add to the team’s support staff. With his vast experience and cricketing acumen, ABD’s presence is expected to inspire and mentor the young talent within the squad.
Andy Flower, the former coach of Lucknow Super Giants, is set to take charge as the new head coach for RCB. With his experience and coaching prowess, he is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the team. Flower’s two-year stint with Lucknow Super Giants may have ended, but his arrival at RCB is a positive step toward the team’s development.
Besides his role with RCB, AB de Villiers has led a video editing and graphics design team. This team is responsible for producing high-quality and compelling video content related to cricket. Their work includes creating match highlights, player profiles, event coverage, and more. Through these efforts, de Villiers also contributes to the cricketing world off the field.
