Former South Africa skipper AB de Villiers has heaped praise on new SunRisers Hyderabad head coach Daniel Vettori, saying he is the perfect man to take them forward.
Speaking on his Youtube channel, De Villiers called Vettori an incredible person following his appointment at SRH. The IPL side parted ways with West Indies legend Brian Lara after their poor outing in the 2023 edition of the tournament, where they finished last despite amassing an impressive array of players.
“Daniel Vettori. I played with him, I played against him and I played under him – that’s quite interesting. Dan is going to the SunRisers Hyderabad as coach. He was the RCB coach few years back when I was playing under him. What an incredible human being, fantastic guy,” said De Villiers.
He went on to say that Vettori is the perfect man to take SRH forward, adding that he has always got the players’ best interest at heart. Vettori, who had been working as the spin bowling coach with the Australian team has coached Royal Challengers Bangalore in the past.
“He’s always got the players’ best interests at heart and that’s the kind of coach you want. Expect a good season from the SunRisers. They’ve got a young team and I think Dan is the perfect man to take them forward,” the former South African skipper asserted,” De Villiers added.
