AB de Villiers: “I'll be too nervous, man. I think I'd rather just support. I'm a very good supporter. Yeah, the IPL is just a very long tournament. It's almost a three-month tournament. It is a really big commitment for someone at the age of 41. You can't compare me to Imran Tahir. I work a lot harder. I had a lot more hard work. I think throughout the years.”

He explained, “I mean, that's crazy. I'll take my hat to them. That's absolutely amazing. And I mean, you've got to look up to that. But we're all different, and I think that is the beautiful part of the sport—some guys feel they've had enough after the age of 30. Some are only at 40. It depends.”
AB de Villiers is happy to be just a cricket supporter
The Proteas great has noted that he worked extremely hard throughout his career and now feels it's time to enjoy cricket as a supporter, not a player.
