AB de Villiers played in the Indian Premier League for 14 seasons, including 11 years with RCB. During his tenure with RCB, the team came close to winning the title on two occasions but fell short. He retired from the IPL after the 2021 season, ending his career without lifting the trophy with the franchise.

In a video posted on social media, the former RCB star said that words couldn’t fully do justice to the moment. De Villiers recalled that the sea of red jerseys, flags, and passionate chants made it feel like RCB was playing at home.
"As I walked into the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad , the sun had already dipped below the skyline but it felt like the red of RCB still lit up the horizon. A neutral venue they said. But when i heard the roar, saw the jersey, flags, faces painted with red and gold i knew this was home," he added.
RCB, the Team That Became Family to Me - AB de Villiers
"RCB the team that became family to me are now champions of IPL. Wow feels good to say that. It was a moment that I had dreamt of but even in those wildest dreams, I couldn't have imagined it this perfectly. The foundation of the franchise, the leadership, the passion the people behind the scenes who never stop working, the fans who never stop believing all came together like never before. That's what made this so much more than a victory."
