Former India and RCB skipper Virat Kohli also got involved with the crowd to the fullest as he asked them to cheer louder while he shot a video of Bangalore legends AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle. RCB have made the announcement to induct both the players in team's Hall of Fame list as the first two inductees.

Notably, AB di Villers and Chris Gayle were the stalwarts of RCB after joining the franchise in 2011. While Gayle stayed with the RCB till 2017, ABD remained with them till retirement after the 2021 season. Along with Virat Kohli, the three players made up one of the most destructive batting line-ups of the IPL.

During his time, Gayle scored 3420 runs in 91 matches with the RCB - the third highest for the franchise. His most famous innings came in 2013 IPL when he smashed 175 not out - an IPL and T20 record still, against now-defunct Pune Warriors India.
ABD, on the other hand, played in 157 matches for the team, scoring 4,522 runs - the second highest for RCB, behind Virat Kohli's 6,624 runs.
Bangalore, who have failed to win a single IPL trophy in 15 seasons of IPL, will try their luck once again to catch the elusive title with their quest beginning on April 2 against Mumbai Indians.
