AB de Villiers’ Named This CSK Star As IPL GOAT: Indian batting maestro Virat Kohli has been one of the most consistent performers in the history of the Indian Premier League. He is currently the leading run-scorer in IPL history, having amassed 6788 runs off the 226 he has played so far for Royal Challengers Bangalore.
He is hailed as the IPL G.O.A.T for many reasons by his fans, however, his close friend and former RCB teammate don’t feel the same.
Notably, Virat shared the dressing room with South African legend Ab de Villiers for more than a decade in the IPL. Both the players share a great bond of friendship with each other, however, when AB was asked to name the GOAT player in IPL history, he snubbed Virat and instead picked a Chennai Super Kings legend as the G.O.A.T. of the IPL.

AB named none other than MS Dhoni as the GOAT of IPL history. Dhoni is hailed as one of the greatest cricketers to have ever played the game of cricket. He has managed to score more than 5000 runs in the tournament.
Dhoni, who is currently the leading four-time IPL winner with CSK, is one of the seven batters who has managed to score more than 5000 runs in the tournament. Interestingly, Dhoni also holds the record for scoring the highest number of runs in IPL history against RCB.
He has played in all 16 editions of the cash-rich league to date and has helped CSK reach nine IPL finals and 11 playoffs in the 13 editions of their participation in the league. On Wednesday, Dhoni created history as he became the first player to captain a single franchise in 200 matches of the IPL.
Meanwhile, speaking at the Q&A session on Jio Cinema, when De Villiers was asked, “Who is the G.O.A.T. of the Tata IPL?”, responding to which, AB said: “The G.O.A.T. in the Tata IPL 2023 for me is MSD”.
