“The son of Delhi will be watched by thousands around India and around the globe again and by me…It’s great to have him back,” De Villiers says in a video on his YouTube channel.
“He’s got number 17 on his back; I used to have 17 on my back. There’s a bit of chemistry, and I absolutely love watching this guy play. He scored an IPL hundred, maybe this will be the season for number two, three, maybe even four,” De Villiers adds.
