Celebrated Indian cricketer KL Rahul has shed light on his first interaction with legendary AB de Villiers back in 2012-13. Rahul met the former Proteas cricketer in the Royal Challengers Bangalore camp in the IPL.

Speaking on the ‘Breakfast of Champions’, Rahul revealed feeling like a kid in a candy store when he first walked into the Royal Challengers dressing room in the 2012-13 season while calling De Villiers as his favourite player and someone who he still watches videos of.

Rahul said:

“My kid in a candy store moment came in the 2012 or 2012-2013 season. My first year I think and that’s when I walked in and Virat (Kohli), Chris Gayle, Zaheer Khan, and AB, and AB was my favorite player.”

“And he still is one of my favorite players. I always go back and I’m always watching videos of him. So now, just before going to South Africa, I watched AB De Villiers’ hundreds in South Africa, before going to England, it was AB De Villiers in England, and like how he bats. He’s always been one of my favorite players,” added Rahul.

I’m still like very I don’t have words, nothing comes out, I’m just like, I try, I look like an idiot trying to make conversation with him after the games in IPL, cause there’s so much I want to ask him but I don’t know. It’s a proper fanboy moment with him,” he concluded.
