AB de Villiers humorously dismissed comparisons to MS Dhoni's continued IPL career, stating he "works a lot harder" than the CSK captain.
De Villiers, who retired from the IPL in 2021, recently played in the World Championship of Legends, where he was the highest run-scorer. He expressed nervousness about returning to the IPL at 41, highlighting the tournament's length and commitment.
De Villiers praised Dhoni's longevity but emphasized their different approaches to the game. He expressed contentment with his IPL career and enjoyment of his current role as a supporter.
De Villiers's comments came after a successful WCL campaign where he led South Africa Champions to victory with three centuries, including one in the final.
“You can't compare me to Dhoni. I work a lot harder.”
