As the celebrations began across the Narendra Modi Stadium and among millions of RCB fans, there was one special thing that made the victory even more emotional. While the players were soaking the historic moment on the field, two of RCB's greatest-ever stars, AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle, were celebrating the success from different corners.
Their unforgettable performances, match-winning knocks, and connection with the fans made them icons for the franchise. And even RCB inducted both legendary batters into the franchise Hall of Fame and even retired De Villiers' No. 17 and Gayle's No.33.
Ironically, despite spending some of the best years of their careers with RCB, neither De Villiers nor Gayle got the chance to lift an IPL trophy as players. And that is why the team’s success over the last two seasons has been especially emotional and personal for both the icons.
On the other hand, the legendary West Indies power hitter was present at the studio as part of the commentary panel. The moment RCB became champions, both legends could not hide their happiness. De Villiers was full of praise for the team and their remarkable consistency throughout the season.
