ABD wont be playing overseas. That also means IPL.
I’m just so shattered rn. Even imagining IPL without you triggers me. Please. #ABdeVilliers pic.twitter.com/w8uieJXmge— Thank You AB ❤ (@dailydramadoze) May 23, 2018
I respect ABD’s decision. Great people know when it is right time to hang the boots. It is better to leave when you are on a high in whatever you are doing than made to leave because of bad times or becoming victim of envious people #ABDevilliers

I didn’t know if I would say this but #ABDevilliers‘s retirement is hurting me more than Sachin’s retirement.
ABD is the only player who can make an Indian miss him more than Sachin.
Too Soon AB , too Soon #ThankYouAB
