Neither the RCB nor the former South African international have clearly told about his role with the IPL franchise but most probably he would be the likely mentor for the new season, since he is not only a fan favourite here in Chinnaswamy but his expertise will bring a lot to the table. All the franchises will have to name their retentions by mid-November ahead of the mini auction, which will take place next month in December.
‘It’s nice and fresh in Bangalore. It’s a beautiful day’, de Villiers concluded in the video.
