New Delhi: Royal Challengers Bangalore welcomed superstar AB de Villiers back in the squad after the South African missed out the first two games with back injury. His arrival against Kings XI Punjab, though, meant Chris Gayle had to sit out of the encounter today.
De Villiers marked his return by playing some exquisite shots, including a flat six and a four following a magical touch. (KXIP vs RCB - Live Blog | Full Coverage)
