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.
