AB de Villiers’ impressive record includes 156 matches for RCB, amassing 4,491 runs in 144 innings at a strike rate of 158.64, with two centuries and 37 half-centuries. The South African cricket legend represented the Bengaluru-based franchise from 2011 to 2021, following three seasons with Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals). Overall, he boasts over 5,000 runs in T20 cricket.
Regarding ‘Ee sala cup namdu’, the women’s team, led by Smriti Mandhana, clinched their inaugural trophy in the second season of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) earlier this year.
However, the men’s team is yet to secure an IPL title. Their last appearance in the finals was in 2016, where they were defeated by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
