5 foreign players who became fan favorites in India because of the IPL

#2 AB de Villiers

AB de Villiers, the South African hard-hitting batsman, is one of the most loved foreign cricketers in India. De Villiers has always attracted fans in the country with his 360-degree style of batting. The crowd in the stadium can be heard cheering for the batsman even when he is playing an international game for South Africa against India.

AB has always remained close to fans ever since he joined Royal Challengers Bangalore and is now emotionally attached to them. The South African has himself called Bangalore as his second home on multiple occasions, due to the crowd support he gets while playing at the Chinnaswamy.
