AB De Villers speaking to Hindustan Times, who is the brand Ambassador of SA20, spoke about kohli and said that,

“I’m sure he has got a plan in place. It’s very reasonable and normal for him to be tired, to feel like it’s time for him to unfold that final chapter in a way. I don’t exactly know how long he will play for but I would like it to be for as long as possible.”

“He’s been incredible to watch and we all want to see a little bit more of him,” he continued. “The South Africa series is important to him, and he might play a few, rest and sit out a few and find a way to manage himself leading up to the end of his career.”

“At a very early stage, Virat found a way to master his own game, understand what works for him and he has taken that into the highest-pressure moments.

It’s a privilege to have shared the dressing room with him, partnerships with him and some incredible moments with him. He’s a fantastic player and long may that continue. Hopefully, that career has got a few more years in it.”
