Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) legend, AB de Villiers touched down in Ahmedabad on Tuesday, just in time for the blockbuster IPL 2025 final against Punjab Kings (PBKS). The reunion everyone has been waiting for might just happen: AB on the field with Virat, holding that trophy high if RCB finally go all the way.
AB de Villiers Arrives For RCB vs PBKS IPL 2025 Final
AB had said it loud and clear: if RCB make it to the final, he will be there. And true to his word, the South African great is in town, possibly joining the commentary panel but more importantly, to be part of the emotional ride that could finally break RCB’s title drought. After years of heartbreaks and close calls, it’s poetic that de Villiers is here for what could be the moment.

Notably, while speaking on Star Sports, AB left a warm message for his longtime mate. “Go out and enjoy and have fun out there. Put a smile on your face. I’ll be there watching you. Bring that trophy home,” he said.
This will be Kohli’s fourth IPL final with RCB. He has been carrying the team for years, and this season has been no different with 614 runs and counting. But the real difference this year? He hasn’t had to carry the load alone.
Meanwhile, for years, fans have dreamt of seeing Kohli and AB de Villiers celebrate an IPL trophy together. The chemistry, the brotherhood, the respect, it’s stuff cricket fairytales are made of. And now, with RCB just one win away from making history, AB’s arrival has just turned up the heat.
Chris Gayle To Attend IPL 2025 Final Featuring His Former Teams
Chris Gayle has confirmed he will be present at the IPL 2025 final in Ahmedabad where his two former sides RCB and PBKS face off in a blockbuster clash.
Sharing his excitement on social media, Gayle wrote, “En route to support my 2 former teams RCB & PBKS in the IPL finals,” while thanking Qatar Airways for a smooth journey.
The Universe Boss, who once formed a legendary batting trio with Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers at RCB, last played an IPL final in 2016, a heartbreaking loss to SunRisers Hyderabad.
No one knows what happens next. But one thing’s for sure: if RCB do win it and Kohli raises that trophy with ABD and Gayle beside him, there won’t be a dry eye in the house.
