Talking about the third test AB De Villiers said that the top order needs to click and must look to score more runs. AB De Villiers has been in sublime touch and has piled up 200 runs already in the two test matches. AB De Villiers said, “We have tried to do that over the last few test matches but the wicket didn’t allow it and some good bowling as well. Credit goes to Indian bowlers.”
ABD Has Special Appreciation For Kohli
Not just the Indian bowlers but AB De Villiers also heaped praises for the Indian Skipper. Taking about Kohli’s century in the first innings at Centurion, AB De Villiers said, “Virat’s Knock was very very good. I did congratulate him afterward.”
