AB de Villiers teams up with Kabuni as a "Super Coach"

South African former cricketer AB de Villiers has teamed up with Kabuni, an AI-powered sports technology platform, as a “Super Coach”.

de Villiers joins other former cricketers such as Sourav Ganguly and Shane Watson as Kabuni Super Coaches.

Kabuni will thus leverage the 42-year-old’s cricketing expertise to create data-driven insights and real-world experiences for aspiring cricketers and fans in India between the ages of 12 and 16. They will also have a chance to compete for a spot in de Villiers’ team through a nationwide tournament, to be launched in June.

On joining Kabuni, AB de Villiers commented:

“Cricket has always been about expression for me – finding new ways to solve problems and push the limits of what’s possible. What Kabuni is building is incredibly exciting because it gives young players a platform to explore their game, trust their instincts, and develop in a way that feels natural to them. I’m looking forward to helping the next generation think differently, play with freedom, and unlock their full potential.”

Nimesh Patel, Founder & CEO, Kabuni, added:

“AB de Villiers is one of the most special players cricket has ever seen. His ability to reimagine the game and perform under pressure aligns beautifully with what we’re building at Kabuni – a platform that empowers players not just technically, but creatively and mentally. With AB on board, we’re taking another massive step towards redefining how the next generation learns and experiences the sport.”
