“It was really good, very nice to be there. The lights were a bit blurry and the wicket was a bit sticky so it was quite a challenge. It was how I would like my first network to be after a long time, ”De Villiers said in a video posted on RCB’s official YouTube page.
“I had my Basics in place, I had to watch the ball carefully. I did some good shots at the end, which was nice too. You need intensity when you practice, and that’s what I do, ”added the right-hander.
Meanwhile, RCB team principal Mike Hesson was recently asked if Virat Kohli and Aaron Finch will open together for RCB this season. In his response, Hesson said that everyone will have to wait and see.
“It’s really interesting, I did a press conference for a couple of hours but never talked about where Virat is hitting or where Aaron Finch will hit or are they opening batting together. Actually, from a manager or coach’s point of view, we wouldn’t want to tell anyone exactly what our lineup is because that’s our strategy, ”Hesson said in a video uploaded to RCB’s official Twitter account.
“We want to keep some of those things up our sleeve in terms of where we use players. We know that they are going to ask us many questions about who is going to hit and where … We just have to wait, ”added the former Kiwi coach.
