Royal Challengers Bangalore is a team that has captured the hearts of many IPL fans. With a rich history and a loyal following, it's no surprise that they are one of the most loved teams in the league. One of the reasons for their popularity is the legendary South African batter, AB de Villiers, who has become an icon for the franchise.
However, in a recent interview with Jio Cinema, AB de Villiers' wife, Danielle, revealed that she has a different favourite team in the IPL.
During the interview, the couple was asked about their favourite things, including their favourite artist and food. They both agreed that Coldplay was their favourite artist, and Sushi was their favourite food. However, when it came to their favourite IPL team, they had different answers. AB de Villiers, of course, named his former team, Royal Challengers Bangalore. But Danielle surprised everyone by naming Kolkata Knight Riders as her favourite team.
When asked about her choice, Danielle explained that since KKR is owned by Shah Rukh Khan, they are her obvious choice. "It's Shah Rukh Khan's team. He is pure love," Danielle de Villiers said.
