IPL 2021: WATCH – AB de Villiers destroys an iPhone with a perfect straight drive at the nets

AB de Villiers

AB de Villiers

AB de Villiers is without a doubt one of the most adored players in the world for his exploits on the field as well as his gentlemanly nature. The South African has loyally served the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) franchise for 10 years now and he has become the face of the franchise along with its captain Virat Kohli. The amount of fan following that the 37-year-old has is second to none with regard to non-Indian cricketers in the country.

de Villiers’ focus once again ahead of the Indian Premier League 2021 will be to win the elusive trophy for the first time in his career. There have been heartbreaks year after year and the trophy has been almost a jinx for the RCB franchise ever since its inception. de Villiers would be raring to be the one to help break the jinx and realize the Bangalore fans’ dreams of seeing their side win the IPL trophy.

AB de Villiers returns to training; smashes iPhone

Ahead of IPL 2021, teams have started organizing training camps for their players to practice and get in shape ahead of the tournament in April. In that vein, RCB’s AB de Villiers has also taken to the nets to train. In that vein, the South African posted a video today of him hitting a straight drive at the nets. The ball goes on to take out an iPhone used for recording the video.

The video was posted on his Instagram handle by de Villiers himself who captioned it, “Iphone out! @iplt20 prep with Cricket guru @bennie.bester.10 and @krugervanwyk . Thanks manne (sic).”

RCB will kick off their IPL campaign against defending champions Mumbai Indians in Chennai on the 9th of April.
