IPL 2020: 'AB de Villiers keeping wickets will be a topic of discussion,' says RCB head coach Simon Katich

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) head coach Simon Katich recently hinted at the possibility of AB de Villiers donning the gloves for the Virat Kohli-led side in IPL 2020.

During a media interaction earlier today, Katich spoke about how AB de Villiers will have a big role to play in the upcoming season, given the South African's experience of having played at the highest level.
In the IPL 2020 player auctions, RCB signed upcoming Australian wicket-keeper batsman Josh Philippe, who is one of the two regular wicket-keepers in the side after veteran Parthiv Patel.

Notably, AB de Villiers has kept wickets for RCB in the past, but in 2017, the South African superstar said that he was going to give up wicketkeeping to avoid injuries in an approach to prolong his career.
AB de Villiers has been one of the most consistent performers for RCB over the years, having notched up important knocks that have helped the franchise pick up some memorable wins.

The 36-year-old recently took part in the 3TC Solidarity Cup in South Africa, where his 24-ball 61 helped the Eagles reign supreme. Katich further added that the momentum from that competition could bode well for RCB in IPL 2020.
