Former RCB greats AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle received homecoming greeting from the franchise as they landed in Bangaluru ahead of the RCB Unbox event, where they will be inducted into the RCB Hall of Fame. Through their official twitter handle, RCB welcomed both former players with a rather strange analogy.

It is noteworthy that both Gayle and de Villiers were also a part of auction expert panel in a show by JioCinemas.
Gayle, commonly known as Universe Boss and de Villiers, famous for bringing 360-style of cricket T20s, will reunite for the Player Auction to present their views on the picks made by all ten franchises on December 23.
"This is as thrilling as it gets to return to the IPL in a different avatar with my former teammates and competitors for the auction. I hope to get the same love from the fans in my new role where I will do some talking and not my bat," added Gayle.
