Ramesh Mane

Tributes flew thick and fast for AB de Villiers as soon as the South African superstar announced his shock retirement from international cricket yesterday. Ramesh Mane (fondly known as Mane kaka), the former masseur of the Indian team and currently with the Royal Challengers Bangalore, was stunned when informed about the ex-SA skipper's retirement. "Just a few days ago, he took that sensational single-handed catch [against Sunrisers Hyderabad] on the boundary line," Mane told mid-day as he took a few seconds for the news to sink in.'
