Watch: AB De Villiers is Back Again in the South Africa's Dressing Room

Cricket's legend and one of the best of all-time batters in cricket history was seen in the dressing room after several years. He came to the dressing room during South Africa’s first test match against Pakistan when the game was stopped due to the rain. 

After coming to the dressing room, he interacted with the players and played kick-about with them. The team then gathered in a circle and played football. This is usually done by the team as a warm-up, team bonding, and quick-reaction practice, but we all know how much AB de Villiers likes it.

In the video, it was seen that AB de Villiers still plays very well. While some of the players struggle to match his quick passes. 

Nothing like a good kick-about with Proteas Legend, @ABdeVilliers17 😏

After winning the first test match against Pakistan, South Africa secured its position in the the World Test Championship's final which will happen in the summer of next year at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground. 

In this match, South Africa defeated Pakistan by two wickets. Captain Aiden Markaram received the Player of the Match award, for scoring 89 in the first innings and 39 in the second innings. Tea m's bowling department also performed exceptionally well in the match, with a fifer from Dane Peterson in the first innings and from Marco Jansen in the second innings. Debutant Corbin Bosch was also in the news for taking a wicket on the first ball of his test match career. He took four wickets in the first inning in his 15 overs.

Though South Africa has already secured its place in the WTC finals, India and Australia are still in the race to be the second finalist . Sri Lanka also has an outside chance if it wins both of its matches.

Meanwhile currently, Australia is in the best position to reach the final as the team can reach the finals on its own. Meanwhile, India’s and Sri Lanka's future depends on Australia losing its matches.
