Cricket-De Villiers backs balanced RCB to break IPL duck

Hindustan Times  

By Amlan Chakraborty Cricket-De Villiers backs balanced RCB to break IPL duck NEW DELHI, - Team balance and Virat Kohli's reassuring presence in the top order have convinced AB de Villiers that his former club Royal Challengers Bengaluru can win their maiden Indian Premier League title this year. "I really think they made some incredibly good moves in the auction," De Villiers, who spent 11 seasons with RCB, told an online press conference on Tuesday. "He might have called retirement on T20 internationals but I feel there's plenty left in the tank for Virat, especially with that batting lineup RCB he's got this season," the South African said. Salt's aggression will take the pressure off Kohli and let him control the innings as the team's "batting captain", De Villiers said.
