  I have been wanting to write this open letter to you for quite some time now. Keeping all the excuses aside, this quarantine lockdown has finally given me ample amounts of time to finally let words flow through these hands of mine. Yes, I have been wanting to do this for quite a while now. Especially after I had finished with reading your autobiography titled ” AB De Villiers – The Autobiography. I don’t know from where this thought of an open letter came from, but I knew it was something I wanted to do. And finally, here am I!
  I’ve started watching cricket from a very young age. When I started watching it, I don’t think you had made your international debut for another couple of years. Even after your international debut in December 2004, and for most parts of the next four years, I did not really know who AB De Villiers actually was! By 2008, your name was already on the lips of many and I did hear people calling you the next big thing in South African cricket.
  Unlike now, in my younger days, I solely watched and cared about the matches played by India. And I don’t think South Africa played India much during the span of those few years. But once the IPL came into existence in 2008, I heard people talking about you. Also, that you would be playing for the Delhi Daredevils.
