De Villiers added: “I think teams like RCB – obviously, he was at mid before – decided to let go and not to recover it. So, a big loss, I think, for many teams, and it shows this now. My tweet was sort of, in a way, just showing how much this guy is, how talented it is. “
Explaining how his tweet was misunderstood, the former cricket player said: “I also tweeted that he was picked up at IPL or that I am not picked up at the start, then I get into the CSK team because of an injury. Maybe I thought some people misunderstood my tweet.
