The South African T20 league, known as the MSL (Mzansi Super League), commenced last year, and de Villiers is eager to witness the spectacle of Dhoni and Kohli gracing the tournament in the future. When asked about the possibility, de Villiers responded with a playful yet intriguing remark, "I haven't discussed this with any player except for Robin Uthappa and R P Singh. We've worked together recently, and I told them it would be great to see them there."
While de Villiers acknowledged that seeing Indian players in the South African league this season might be challenging, he didn't rule out the prospect for the seasons to come. He mentioned, "It's uncertain whom we'll get, but we'll certainly try to bring players like Dhoni and Virat in their final seasons."
