Latest News :- The ICC has revealed that Virat Kohli has written a letter to South African legend AB de Villiers after inducting him into the ICC 'Hall of Fame'. The letter reads, I feel honored to have been chosen to write this letter after your inclusion in the list of ICC Fame Cricketers. You are completely eligible for this. It is a representation of the unique impact you have had on the game of cricket.
They will talk a lot about your talent. This is correct. You are the most talented player I have ever played with. you are number one. But what stands out about you to me is your confidence in your abilities. You have tremendous confidence that you can execute whatever you set your mind to on the field. You have always done this.
What happened when I played with you for RCB in 2016 has never left my mind. Chasing the target of 184 runs, the opposition included Morne Morkel, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell and Shakib Al Hasan. You joined me on the field when the score was 70. You were defeated by Sunil Narine once or twice. Then during time out you said to me, 'I didn't guess his delivery correctly.'
Then I remember I told you to give me strikes and I will hit some boundaries. After time out, Narine bowled the first over. I was waiting at the opposite end for you to take a run and give me the strike, but you went towards leg and the ball followed you. But you kneel down and hit the ball slowly for a six. 94 meter six.
I don't know what happened to you in time out. I remember after that six I said to you 'You're a freak'. If I'm not confident that someone can play the ball, I stay away from strikes and avoid them. But you hit a six of 94 meters. This alone says it all. You end up doing things that our brains are not ready to do. Then everyone will think 'what happened?'
This sweet memory is one of the many happy memories of dancing with you. Some of my funniest moments on the cricket field have been playing with you. Similarly, when both of us are running, we are not able to call. It's just a feeling. It cannot be explained. When we are batting it is the fielders who are in trouble. I don't remember not getting 2 runs while running with you. Also there was no run out. This is our understanding.
How many times have you saved your team in difficult moments? Your drive to make the team win is a big lesson for me. What you have learned is not what we have done in the last 4 matches, but what we are going to do in this match today. Always thinking positive is your way. Everyone will appreciate your aggressive game. But once in Delhi you scored 43 runs in 297 balls and tried your best to draw the match. This is the meaning of change according to circumstances. If we face 200 balls and hit a four, it seems natural to me. But. You are not like that. You close yourself off according to the demands of the situation.
Not just wild hitting and wild shots, but your confidence and tackling skills are your identity. When the South African team asks you to play like this, you play like that. This alone is enough to prove what a team player you are!! Many players have impressive statistics. But there are only a few players who impact the minds of the audience. It is character that makes you so valuable as a cricketer. This is what makes you different. You have been inducted into the Hall of Fame for the impact you have had on the game. What could be a greater honor than this? Congratulations Biscotti. You have always been one of the greatest players in the game of cricket. Virat Kohli has written the letter like this.
