In a recent update on Virat Kohli’s return to competitive cricket, former South African captain and Kohli’s close confidante, AB de Villiers, shared a potential clue on the Indian cricket star’s comeback. De Villiers discussed a hint given by Kohli, indicating the possibility of his participation in the IPL 2024 for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
During a conversation on his YouTube channel, de Villiers responded to a question about his return to RCB. Although de Villiers has yet to confirm his return to the franchise, he hinted at a possible meeting with Kohli. According to de Villiers, Kohli has suggested that he might want de Villiers to spend time with him and some of the batters. While nothing is confirmed, de Villiers mentioned the potential call coming from key figures like Andy Flower, Faf, and the team.
De Villiers clarified that, for now, he plans to be in Mumbai during the initial weeks of the IPL, engaging in commentary and returning for the knockout stages. The revelation by de Villiers adds an interesting twist to speculations about Kohli’s return and a possible appearance in RCB’s season opener against Chennai Super Kings on March 22.
This development may challenge earlier speculations, including Sunil Gavaskar’s theory that questioned Kohli’s participation in the IPL 2024 after withdrawing from the England Test series. Gavaskar had expressed uncertainty, suggesting that Kohli might skip the IPL for reasons similar to his absence from the England Tests.
Kohli, who has played limited cricket since the World Cup final against Australia in November, had a brief stint in the Test and T20I series against South Africa and Afghanistan. However, he withdrew from the England Test series just days before the first Test in Hyderabad due to “personal reasons.” The potential return of Kohli would be a significant development for RCB and fans eagerly anticipating his comeback to competitive cricket.
