IPL2021:”He would not want to see Virat and Maxwell scores his run”, said Pieterson

Former England captain Kevin Pietersen said AB de Villiers would not want to see captain Virat Kohli and Glenn Maxwell do the bulk of the scoring in every match.

It’s not usual to see AB de Villiers out of form in tournament let alone the IPL. But the UAE leg of IPL 2021 has not been good for AB de villiers. The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) star has managed scores of 0, 11, 14 and 4* in the four matches in the second leg of the Indian Premier League began after a four-month postponement due to Covid-19 in India.
Pieterson, who has played lot of cricket against de Villiers, said “He is an established player; he is a senior player. He would not want to see Kohli or Maxwell score the runs he is scoring. He must be thinking ‘I’m not holding my side of the bargain. This is just not the AB de Villiers that he is used to seeing,” Pietersen told Star Sports after RCB registered a comfortable 7-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals on Wednesday in Dubai. 
Pietersen said it wouldn’t matter if de Villiers scores three ducks in a row. The former South Africa captain would still warrant a place in the XI because of the things he has done in the past for RCB.
