Jos Buttler also revealed an interesting story

In the podcast, Jos Buttler also revealed an interesting back story that he had with his idol Ab de Villiers. The two got to know each other during the IPL when Jos used to play for the Mumbai Indians, whereas, Ab represented Royal Challengers Bangalore.

He said that de Villiers had mistaken him as a New Zealander when they first had a conversation in the IPL.

“De Villiers has been my idol growing up. The guy I love watching, he is just awesome,”

He further continued detailing his first conversation with Ab de Villiers;

“Got to know him a little bit during the IPL actually when I was at Mumbai (Indians). Just at the start of the game, he said I will catch up with you for a beer at the hotel after the game,”

“I was like so excited. I was like so cool getting to drink a beer with AB de Villiers. I got back to the hotel told my fiance at that time (now wife) we are going to go straight to the bar”.

“We probably chatted for 20 minutes, having a great time I am loving it and he has got pretty strong Afrikaans accent. About 20 minutes into the conversation, he asks ‘which part of New Zealand are you from?’ and that just absolutely killed me,”
