Former South Africa captain and one of the best batsmen of all-time, AB de Villiers said that he is a better batsman than Indian captain Virat Kohli when it comes to changing the game quicker. However, he also said that Kohli is a more reliable batsman than him as the later likes to bat deeper in the innings.

While talking to Harsha Bhogle on a Cricbuzz in Conversation episode on Wednesday, de Villiers said, "We take on different bowlers. I personally like to attack a little earlier, not to show weakness early on. I am earlier to the trigger. I want the bowlers to feel early on that it will be trouble if I’m allowed to bat for 5 overs".



"Virat is a more reliable batsman. He’s the one you want to bat for 15 overs. I am better in a way I could change the game quicker, have an injection that could swing the game. So together we are a nice combo", he added.

AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli are two of the most successful players in the history of the Indian Premier League. Playing for the Royal Challengers Banglore, the duo has played some of the best knocks and has been involved in many great partnerships in the IPL. They are the only two players with two 200+ partnerships in the T20s.



It is not a secret anymore that Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers shared a great bond of friendship. They have often seen talking about how they enjoy batting with each other and enjoy each other's company. De Villiers also believes that Kohli would belong to the category of great batsmen because of how he raises his game when his team needs him to bail them out.

Harsha Bhogle also asked him to pick his all-time IPL XI and not to forget to pick himself. De Villiers, while picking his team, named MS Dhoni to lead his all-time best IPL XI and the reason he gave for picking Dhoni as captain that Dhoni is one of the most successful skippers of all time in the white-ball format.

For openers, the star batsman picked Virendra Sehwag and Rohit Sharma while Virat Kohli will be at number 3 followed by himself at number 4. Among the bowlers, he picked Kagiso Rabada and Jasprit Bumrah along Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Rashid Khan.

Here is AB's complete team: Virendra Sehwag, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, MS Dhoni (C & WC), Ben Stokes, Ravindra Jadeja, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Kagiso Rabada.
