South African cricketer AB de Villiers wants to make a comeback and compete with top players Suryakumar Yadav and Virat Kohli. De Villiers, known for his exceptional skills, has accumulated 5162 runs in 184 matches with an average of 39.71 while playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore. He retired from international cricket in 2018 and bid farewell to the Indian Premier League in 2021.
In a recent interview, De Villiers expressed his willingness to play again, emphasizing his desire to challenge players like Yadav and Kohli. However, he admitted that his drive has diminished over time. Not playing international cricket in the last four years made him realize he hadn’t played enough in the latter part of his career.
De Villiers disagrees with the concept of being an Impact Player, as he believes playing only a few months a year would hinder his goal of being the best in the world. Practice alone cannot match the thrill and competition of being on the field. He questioned his path in the last few years and acknowledged that while he could still deliver exceptional performances, he didn’t want to settle for sporadic brilliance.
