He is 37 and still one of the most feared batsman going around. Make him play on bouncy tracks, raging turners, pitches that offer movement or plain batting wickets, AB de Villiers will score at the rate of knots on each one. A complete batsman who has dominated and is still dominating the best bowlers in world cricket.
Recently, South African coach Mark Boucher urged de Villiers to reconsider a return to the national team. AB, being the person he is, wanted to perform at the ongoing IPL and “prove to himself and everyone else that he could still dominate”.
On Tuesday, de Villiers not only dominated but he showcased yet another masterful knock in the IPL. Batting’s ‘Mr. 360’ clobbered the Delhi Capitals bowlers to all corners of the Motera stadium in Ahmedabad, scoring a 42-ball unbeaten 75 (3x4, 5x6). AB’s whirlwind innings helped Royal Challengers Bangalore post a competitive 171/5 in their 20 overs.
