AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli may be the best of friends and admire each other now but ABD had a completely different impression of Kohli when they first met.

During an episode of Bold Diaries, de Villiers said that Virat was quite cocky and arrogant when he met him the first time.

However, the former South African captain admitted that his views changed the moment he met Kohli. 

'I think he had a barrier around him when I met him the first time and that barrier opened up and I got to know the person. I didn't like him but you know what I'm saying. He's a top person now but my first impression was that he's got to come down to earth a bit,' added ABD.
