Watch: AB de Villiers’ son punches his hand on chair in disappointment, hurts himself after his father got out

By Charlie

It was a decisive moment for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their batting innings as after losing the set Glenn Maxwell on the previous ball, AB de Villiers decided to go after Jasprit Bumrah, who bowled a shorter delivery and he could just get an edge straight into wicket-keeper Quinton de Kock’s gloves.

While RCB camp was disappointed losing two of their big guns in two consecutive deliveries, there was another person, who was so disappointed with the dismissal that he punched his hand on a chair and hurt himself.

It was none other than de Villiers’ son, on whom the camera panned just after his father got out. His son was sitting alongside his wife Danielle and he punched the chair in disgust while she reacted to stop him in doing so and it was too late as he felt the pain of the sudden response.

But his response was justified as the twin strikes by Bumrah cut at least 15 runs from RCB’s total, who looked good on course for a total in excess of 180.

RCB had a poor start to their innings losing Devdutt Padikkal in the second over of the innings. But a couple of good shots from skipper Virat Kohli and wicket-keeper batter KS Bharat meant the Bangalore side a decent powerplay. The latter, however, took off after the first six overs hitting a couple of sixes of the deep square leg of Rahul Chahar and took some pressure off Kohli.

Bharat soon got out but Kohli had found his feet and Glenn Maxwell came out with the intent on Sunday. He took a few balls but once he got one from the middle of the bat hitting a switch hit off Krunal Pandya towards backward point, he was away.

Maxwell who stormed back into the form was severe against the MI spinners as he hit at least five switch hits against them. He kept attempting them and it kept coming off for him as it was just one of those days for him, he just kept pulling them off.

Maxwell played a fabulous innings of 56 runs and at one point was looking dangerous but Bumrah came back to dismiss him and de Villiers in two balls.
