Too much risk in Kohli opening at T20 WC: AB de Villiers
Virat Kohli has enjoyed great success as an opener in the IPL, including the current season, but his close friend AB de Villiers believes the Indian superstar is best suited to bat at number three in the upcoming T20 World Cup in the USA and Caribbean. Kohli has amassed 708 runs for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) this season, boasting a strike rate over 150, effectively silencing critics who questioned his intent against spinners in the middle overs earlier in the tournament.
