WATCH: OUCH! When AB de Villiers almost lost his head as RCB players pounced on him to celebrate

New Delhi: The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) players were on the verge of the boundary line, ready to jump into the field waiting for the winning runs against Gujarat Lions in Qualifier 1 on Tuesday.

And as AB de Villiers hit the second ball of the penultimate over for a single, the players rushed into the field as RCB had pulled off victory from jaws of defeat.

AAAAAAAR CEEEEEEE BEEEEEE @RCBTweets #IPLfinal #GLvRCBhttps://t.co/wFB5PoEUMQ — IndianPremierLeague (@IPL) May 24, 2016

As AB waited near the pitch, the players pounced on him and his helmet fell on the ground. Even though no damage was done, AB could have been injured the way players pounced on him.
