When AB de Villiers came out to bat for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League 2021 match against Mumbai Indians, it seemed like he was in the mood for a big show. He struck a six and a four straight away indicating his instructions to MI bowlers.
On the other end, a well-settled Glenn Maxwell was also dealing in boundaries and completed a 33-ball fifty with six fours and three sixes.
