AB de Villiers is a freak, never seen someone taking on Jasprit Bumrah so consistently: Gautam Gambhir

IPL 2021: Former India opener Gautam Gambhir said Virat Kohli has a massive cushion in someone like AB de Villiers in the middle order but pointed out that there is pressure on the two star cricketers with RCB not being able to win a title yet.

Former India batsman Gautam Gambhir said AB de Villiers is a massive cushion for Royal Challengers Bangalore as they look to dominate opposition teams and build on the good start to Indian Premier League 2021 when the tournament resumes from September 19 in the UAE.

Gautam Gambhir marvelled at AB de Villiers's ability to take on the best in the business, saying he has never seen someone dominate a bowler like Jasprit Bumrah so consistently. De Villiers has hit 112 runs against Bumrah at a strike rate of over 140 and has been dismissed by the Mumbai Indians bowler only twice in his IPL career.
