 "AB De Villiers, RCB, IPL")
Former South African batter AB de Villiers on Friday announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.
De Villiers last played for South Africa in April 2018 when the Proteas locked horns with Australia at Johannesburg.

De Villiers last game in the limited-overs format for South Africa came on February 16, 2018, against India.
The swashbuckling batter has been playing franchise cricket and was a key member in Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and he featured 184 IPL games.
