The 16th season of the Indian Premier League is in full swing currently. Almost all the teams have played their first match. Meanwhile, Royal Challengers Bangalore, who looked the strongest on paper, have already opened their winning account by defeating Mumbai Indians. And on Thursday, April 6, they were defeated by Kolkata Knight Riders, who lost their first match against Punjab Kings, in their second match.

Meanwhile, a video of the former RCB player AB de Villiers and his wife Danielle de Villiers is getting viral on social media, in which Danielle can be heard saying that she will be supporting KKR. Listening to this, Mr. 360 was shocked by his wife's statement. Both teams have a great rivalry in the tournament.

In this video, we can see that some questions are asked of de Villiers and his wife. Both are quick to answer the questions. Similarly, when asked about his favourite team in the IPL, Mr. 360 did not hesitate to name Royal Challengers Bangalore. But De Villiers' wife says Kolkata Knight Riders is her favourite team. Notably, De Villiers' wife said that KKR is the favourite because of Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan as he is the owner of the franchise.

Talking about RCB's first match, after restricting the Mumbai Indians to 171 runs, the pair of Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis made a wonderful performance to achieve victory. Kohli sealed the victory with an unbeaten 84 off 46 balls. Captain du Plessis scored 73 off 43 balls and was dismissed by Cameron Green. However, RCB reached the target in just 16.2 overs and won by 8 wickets with 22 balls to spare.

De Villiers opined that he already predicted that the Gujarat Titans will again win the title but he really wants RCB to win this time. "Very difficult one. A long time ago, during the IPL auction, I had said that Gujarat Titans are going to go back-to-back. I am going to stick to that, even though I really want RCB to win. Since last year I have felt that they have a really great team, very well-balanced. They have enough power. Hopefully, RCB goes all the way," AB de Villiers told NDTV when asked to predict a possible winner.
