South Africa Great AB de Villers’ Warning for this RCB, India Star

Royal Challengers Bangalore is a big team among the franchises that have yet to win the IPL.

With the auction of the Indian Premier League 2024 a few days away, the franchises are already strategizing for the mega T20 tournament. Among the franchises that have yet to win the IPL, Royal Challengers Bangalore is a big team. Despite having stars like Virat Kohli, RCB has failed to taste success in the league.
Among the stars retained by RCB for IPL 2024, Rajat Patidar is a major name. The top-order batter has also been picked by India’s ODI team for the South Africa series. He did not play in the IPL 2023, but in the IPL 2022, Patidar scored 333 in eight matches.
South Africa and Royal Challengers Bangalore great AB de Villiers was asked about Rajat Patidar recently. De Villiers praised him but also had advice for him.
AB de Villiers said in a video on his X account that “he is a wonderful player. I played with him at RCB for a few seasons. He was still very young then. He is getting more experienced now. He is just a very solid guy with a solid personality, a solid attitude, and a solid technique. He has got everything going for him.”
“If I can say one thing, I want to see more in him: a bit more nit and grit, a bit more fighting spirit. He is almost too kind and nice sometimes, which I think might be his downfall. Anyway, I absolutely love watching him bat. He is a fantastic player, and I think he has a bright future. It’s great to see him get rewarded for doing well in the domestic scene.”
