Every cricket lover knows about AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli’s friendship. Both players respect each other a lot and have praised each other on many occasions. But when former South African cricketer De Villiers was asked about his top-5 best cricketers (against or together), the surprise was that he did not give Virat Kohli a place in it. His list includes Sachin Tendulkar. However, he also apologized to Virat after this.
AB de Villiers included an Indian player as Sachin Tendulkar in the top-5. Apart from him, De Villiers selected one Pakistani and 3 Australia, England and South Africa players.
De Villiers chose South African all -rounder Jack Kallis, England’s Andrew Flintoff, Australia’s Shane Warne. He also chose Pakistan bowler Mohammad Asif in it.
Apologies to Virat Kohli
However, De Villiers also apologized for not including Virat Kohli in the list. Taking the name of these players on the Beck Bifour Wicket Podcast, he said, “When Sachin Tendulkar used to come on the field to bat, the way he was welcomed, as if everything has stopped. It is very nice to watch them batting. Virat Kohli, forgiveness, so it becomes a little difficult to answer such questions.”
AB de Villiers believes Jack Kallis is the best cricketer ever. He said, “Jack Kallis is the best all -rounder or the best cricketer ever.”
He chose Mohammad Asif of Pakistan in this list and said, “He was also among the best bowlers bowling in front of me in my career. I loved playing against Shane Warne, but I never had any difficulty.” He said that he also liked Warne’s personality.
Talking about Andrew Flintoff, he said, “He, who did well in big matches. The ball that I put to Jack Kallis in Edgbaston was the best yorker ball that I have seen.
