The Indian Premier League (IPL) action is slowly peaking as most teams have played two matches each. While this is too early to take a call. some teams have impressed while others have been slow-starters. Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis' Royal Challengers Bangalore started with a win against Mumbai Indians. The win brought a smile on AB de Villers's face, who was recently inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame, and he wants the side to all the way. However, he has predicted the Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat Titans to win the IPL 2023.

"Very difficult one. A long time ago, during the IPL auction, I had said that Gujarat Titans are going to go back-to-back. I am going to stick to that, even though I really want RCB to win. Since last year I have felt that they have a really great team, very well-balanced. They have enough power. Hopefully, RCB goes all the way," AB de Villiers told NDTV, when asked to predict a possible winner.
