De Villiers offered his services at various locations in the city. A civic school in Malabar Hill was one of his destinations for the day. He helped in painting classrooms for the students.

AB Keeps his Promise

AB de Villiers has shown his support for RCB throughout the IPL 2025 season. Earlier this month, he even promised the team that he would come to India and cheer for them in person if they make it to the finals.

“Mark my words, if RCB makes it to the final, I will be there at the stadium with the boys. Nothing will give me more pleasure than to lift that trophy with Virat Kohli. I’ve tried that for many, many years,” said de Villiers during an Instagram Live session.
