In an interview during the ongoing 2025 World Championship of Legends, AB de Villiers, representing the South Africa Legends, was interviewed by an Indian journalist, Rahul Rawat. Rawat, while introducing AB on the show, said some great words, mentioning that he is one of the most loved "non-Indian" cricketers in India. Correcting the Journalist, AB wittily claimed that he is an Indian too. The journalist was heard saying: "Usually, interviews begin with an introduction. But the man next to me needs no introduction. This is AB de Villiers, one of the most loved non Indian, not just cricketer, but an athlete, in India at least." Soon after that, AB corrected him and said, "What do you mean 'non-Indian?' I am Indian."

A versatile athlete and a master of innovation, AB was famously known as "Mr. 360" for his ability to hit the ball to all corners of the ground. But while his international records are legendary, it was at Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the IPL where AB truly became a cult hero. Over 11 seasons for RCB, he smashed 4,522 runs at a strike rate of 158.63, producing breathtaking knocks that often defied cricketing logic. His partnership with Virat Kohli was not just prolific but deeply emotional—on and off the field. The two shared a brother-like bond, so much so that when RCB finally clinched their maiden IPL trophy in 2025, Kohli asked AB to lift the trophy first. RCB fans' love for him is unmatched—someone even cheekily renamed a road in Bangalore after him on Google Maps! Though unofficial, it reflects the adoration he commands in the city he lit up for years.
