South Africa great AB de Villiers has backed his former Royal Challengers Bengaluru teammate Virat Kohli to be at his usual best in the upcoming IPL 2024, starting in Chennai on Friday.
The 35-year-old Kohli has not played competitive cricket in almost two months after opting out of the recently-concluded Test series against England at home, which India won 4-1 because of the birth of son, Akaay. De Villiers termed Kohli`s IPL career as "incredible" after the star India batter holds the highest run-scorer feat in the event, amassing 7,263 runs in 200 matches.
