Rahul is happy to be in the centre of KXIP's batting force this season as he claimed that Kohli and de Villiers shared the maximum responsibility in his former IPL team RCB.
De Villiers admitted that Royal Challengers Bangalore, who are on the sixth spot, haven't played well and need to focus on the next games.
De Villiers is likely to replace RCB wicket-keeper Quinton de Kock who has to fly back home to attend a wedding.
De Villiers said that though winning the World Cup trophy would be a bonus for him, not clinching the same is not going to define his career.
De Villiers said Kohli is putting a lot of effort and energy to keep the side in good stead in the training sessions and hopes he scores a lot many runs in the remainder of the IPL.
Virat Kohli credited AB de Villiers for the turnaround saying the South African always give the team plenty of reasons to smile.
