Here's AB de Villiers' Heartfelt Note:
De Villiers is regarded as one of the best batsmen ever, and his records in all forms of cricket are nothing but jaw-dropping. Despite the fact, he hasn’t been able to lift any major title with either South African team or RCB. Ageing 36, the Proteas star is indeed the latter half of his career and fans want the legendary batsman to taste glory at least once.
Meanwhile, Sunrisers Hyderabad also got knocked out of the title race after losing to Delhi Capitals in Qualifier 2 by 17 runs. With this, Shreyas Iyer’s DC advanced to the finals where they’ll meet defending champions Mumbai Indians on November 10 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
