Yuzvendra Chahal was seen giving AB de Villiers some batting advice in their warm-up game and social media brutally trolled the legspinner.
IPL 2020 is just one day away. However, the Indian T20 tournament has shown that anything can happen. Bowlers can give star batsman tips on how to play. This is what happened in the Royal Challengers Bangalore intra-squad match which took place on Thursday. Yuzvendra Chahal, the captain of one of the squads, had AB de Villiers in his team. In the video uploaded on the official social media handles of the Royal Challengers Bangalore side, Chahal is advising de Villiers on batting!
Chahal, made the captain of the team, had De Villiers slotted in as an opener and the leg-spinner who scored six runs from 14 matches last season, implored De Villiers to make sure the elbow “will go straight” and to “watch the ball till the end.” De Villiers grasped the lessons like a dedicated student. “I didn't know I was going to open. I just put my pads on because I wanted to be a good player for my captain – to show him that I am always ready no matter what happens,” said De Villiers on his golden opportunity to be led by Chahal.
RCB gearing up
The two RCB squads had an intense practice match where key RCB players including De Villiers, Kohli, Umesh Yadav, Dale Steyn, Parthiv Patel and Washington Sundar were seen in action.
Kohli, the captain, said the RCB squad for IPL 2020 is the “most balanced” he has had since 2016 – when RCB last made the IPL final. Ever since 2017, in three editions, Royal Challengers Bangalore have finished at the bottom of the table two times. They play their first match of the season against SunRisers Hyderabad on September 21 in Dubai.
With the quarantine rules eased off in Dubai, Royal Challengers Bangalore will welcome back players like Aaron Finch, Adam Zampa and Moeen Ali into the team for the first match provided their coronavirus tests turn out to be negative.
