Dale Stein awakened Ab De Villiers on recent international people in IPL
The South African former pesman Dale Stan, once claimed as one of the greatest bowlers in modern cricket, has now retired from the game. He has played in the IPL for years and has shared the same dressing room with de Villiers on the South African side as well as RCB side.
He has commented that 41-year-old AB de Villiers is still better than many other Indians as well as international players who are currently part of the IPL. AB de Villiers last played for RCB in the IPL in 2021 and announced his retirement at the age of 37, when he was still well, scored a lot of runs with the bat and showed fierce agility on the field.
This can be called a popular statement because many cricket fans have also believed this, while some have opposed the decision.
Unpopular/popular opinion.
AB is still better than half international in IPL. Perhaps even more.
