IPL: CSK and RCB combined all-time XI

5. AB de Villiers

Abraham Benjamin de Villiers is one such player, whom one could have only imagined to have existed if he was not born. A versatile batsman with the ability to hit the ball anywhere around the park, de Villiers is a player who has earned himself recognition by adapting his game over the years, and not losing his consistency even once.

After playing for the then, Delhi Daredevils, for the initial three seasons, de Villiers moved to the Royal Challengers Bangalore and has never looked away since. He along with Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli formed a trio that was extremely hard to bowl to. They used to come, hit the ball over the ropes, one of after the other and pile on mountains of runs. Even after his retirement from international cricket, he has been playing for RCB.

Adding to all of his batting abilities are his wicket-keeping and fielding skills. This man is that sort of player whom anyone would create in a video game and make him rise through the ranks in no time. And his inclusion in any XI of the shortest format of cricket cannot be questioned by any individual.
