Sharing the video of the whole incident, De Villiers wrote: "It was a slow start to this rainy Saturday morning! She thought she was gonna record my boring meditation routine without me knowing, but I had a surprise for her and then stole the video from her too."
"Well, video creds @danielledevilliers , and I must admit, since I was a little boy this has been one of my favourite things to do, it wasn't just a once off lockdown exercise, I can do this for hours," he added.
De Villiers, known for his ability to hit shots to all parts of the ground, shocked the world by calling time on his international career in May 2018, with just over a year to go to the World Cup 2019.
In his absence, South Africa struggled and exited the tournament at the group stage, with their only notable win coming against Australia.
Since then, there have been numerous talks about De Villiers coming out of international retirement and making a comeback to the national team ahead of the men's T20 World Cup in Australia later this year. F
Former skipper Faf du Plessis and head coach Mark Boucher both have acknowledged it in public.
"If AB is in good form and he is raring to go and he makes himself available for the time we have asked him to be available; if he is the best man for the job, then he must go. It's not about egos or anything like that, it's about sending your best team to the World Cup to try and win that competition," Boucher had said in February.
