Every cricket lover knows about the friendship between AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli. Both the players respect each other a lot and have praised each other on many occasions. But when former South African cricketer de Villiers was asked about his top-5 best cricketers (against or with whom he has played), surprisingly he did not include Virat Kohli in it. Sachin Tendulkar is also included in his list. However, after this he also apologized to Virat.
Ab De Villiers Picks Top-5 Cricketers
- Sachin Tendulkar
- Jacques Kallis
- Andrew Flintoff
- Mohammad Asif
- Shane Warne
AB de Villiers also apologized for not including Virat Kohli in the list. Naming these players on the Beard Before Wicket podcast, he said, When Sachin Tendulkar used to come to bat on the field, the way he was welcomed, it seemed as if everything had stopped. It is great to watch him bat. Virat Kohli, sorry. So it becomes a bit difficult to answer such questions.
AB de Villiers believes that Jacques Kallis is the best cricketer of all time. He said, Jacques Kallis is the best all-rounder or the best cricketer of all time.
He picked Pakistan's Mohammad Asif in this list and said, He was one of the best bowlers I have ever played against in my career. I loved playing against Shane Warne, but I never had any problem with him. He said that he also liked Warne's personality.
About Andrew Flintoff he said, He is a great performer in big matches. The ball he bowled to Jacques Kallis at Edgbaston was the best yorker I have ever bowled.
