Virat Kohli, who played in the England vs India T20I 5-match series recently, has made a brief return home after its completion. It is being believed that the player will head to his IPL 2021 team’s camp in a few days, approximately on April 1 or April 2, 2021. Meanwhile, when he shared a video of him prepping for the upcoming IPL 2021 games, teammate AB de Villiers reacted to it saying he appreciated Virat’s form. He also said that he was all ready to join the team soon. To this, Virat playfully responded saying he hoped AB de Villiers still possessed the same speed to run between the wickets as before.
And AB de Villiers did not let this go either and responded in a healthy competitive spirit. The South African cricketer proposed that they find out who is the faster one by racing the next day once they met as a team. While Virat will be an opening batsman for RCB in IPL 2021, both he and AB de Villiers will have to complete the mandatory quarantine period before they meet as a team.
