I hope Virat continues to play ODIs and Tests – AB de Villiers

RCB Hall of Famer, AB de Villiers, in a chat with Hindustan Times talked at length about the future of the Indian cricket team, about the possible prospects for the Men in Blue ahead of the South Africa series. 

Apart from that, de Villliers also heaped praises on Virat Kohli and also highlighted the most practical approach for the former Indian captain since age isn’t particularly on his side anymore.

Talking on Virat Kohli’s career, ABD said, “I hope he continues to play ODIs and Tests. I'm sure he has got a plan in place. It's very reasonable and normal for him to be tired, to feel like it's time for him to unfold that final chapter in a way.”

He also highlighted the possible tenure of Kohli, stating, “I don't exactly know how long he will play for but I would like it to be for as long as possible. He's been incredible to watch and we all want to see a little bit more of him. The South Africa series is important to him, and he might play a few, rest and sit out a few and find a way to manage himself leading up to the end of his career.”

He concluded by saying, “At a very early stage, Virat found a way to master his own game, understand what works for him and he has taken that into the highest-pressure moments. It's a privilege to have shared the dressing room with him, partnerships with him and some incredible moments with him. He's a fantastic player and long may that continue. Hopefully, that career has got a few more years in it.”
