AB de Villiers tied the knot with Danielle back in 2013
Virat Kohli was impressed with de Villiers' romantic proposal
Kohli and de Villiers are the pillars of RCB's batting line-up
Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers, Royal Challengers Bangalore teammates, have immense respect for each other. One calls the other the best batsman in the world and they are always in awe of the skill-sets the other brings on the field.
On Thursday, when de Villiers took a stunning catch during RCB's thrilling win over Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kohli was floored.
"That was Spiderman stuff. You don't do that as normal human beings. I thought it was going for a six but he pulled it off, then the jump and then the balance. I mean he can do freakish things but I am used to it now. His shots still leave me in awe but his fielding I am pretty used to now," Kohli said.
de Villiers is as much in awe of the RCB and Indian captain. They are like brothers, inseparable during the IPL.
But it's not their cricketing skills that bring them close. Kohli and de Villiers are both rather romantic. Back in 2012, de Villiers had laid out an elaborate plan to propose to Danielle, with whom he tied the knot in 2013.
de Villiers chose to propose to Danielle in front of the Taj Mahal. It obviously impressed the lady who answered in the affirmative but it also drew cheer from Kohli, who got married to Anushka Sharma late last year.
