#3 AB de Villiers
If Virat is a certainty, so is AB de Villiers. The South African is hugely popular in India and his long stint with Royal Challengers Bangalore is one of the reasons for that. The Bangalore crowd loves him and very seldom has he failed to entertain them. The Chinnaswamy stadium has witnessed several of AB’s special knocks over the years.
The right-hander has accounted for 3473 runs in 118 IPL innings at an average of 38.16 and when it comes to the strike rate, his 148.17 is not too far behind from Gayle’s. He has 3 centuries to his name to go with 22 fifties. Along with Virat, he makes a formidable pair and the one that the fans would love to see much more of.
