AB de Villiers revealed that he once told Viral Kohlin to alleviate his emotions for the IPL season and said that the star of RCB decided not to listen to him. Kohli is known to be intense in the field and is not someone who hides his real emotions in the field. During the ongoing season, there were several cases this season when Kohli was drawn in qualifying 1 IPL against PBKS.
Before the IPL 2025 finals, De Villiers opened at the time Kohli said to get a little worse. Former RCB man told Kohli to play the season without being too emotional. De Villiers said Kohli agreed to be a good idea, but he decided not to follow the advice.
“We’ve had this conversation many times. Why don’t you try the season and you just get emotions, just a little rest, okay? And I told him before and said it wasn’t a bad idea, but it doesn’t seem to work,” De Villiers said.
“Being emotional on the pitch is one of the strengths of kohli”
De Villiers feels that to be aggressive and emotional is natural for Kohli and one of his largest strengths. The former South African captain said Kohli reached the place where he was on his sleeve wearing his heart.
“He doesn’t listen to me. So I think it’s a natural thing for him. He can’t help but show that he cares, and he’s coming. So at the end of the day it’s one of his strengths. And I think I was wrong.”
Kohli and RCB will play 3 June Final IPL 2025.
