Guess who Ranveer Singh met recently? None other than former South Africa captain AB de Villiers. Yes, the “champion of champions,” “the legend” and “Mr 360” himself. That's how Ranveer and many other cricket fans describe ABD. The actor, on Tuesday, posted a series of pictures of himself and AB de Villiers “chatting and watching cricket.” Going by the photos, it is safe to say that they were watching a T20 World Cup match. Ranveer was all praise for AB de Villiers in the caption. He wrote, “Had a great afternoon, hanging, chatting and watching cricket with the legend - ‘Mr.360' himself, AB de Villiers (a bat and ball icon). Champion of champions…best to ever do it.” AB de Villiers is referred to as “Mr 360” because of his amazing ability to hit the ball to any part of the ground.
Ranveer Singh's wife, actress Deepika Padukone, and her sister Anisha Padukone were quick to like the post.
