AB de Villiers: The Superman
From a wicket-keeper batsman to a pure batsman, and skipper of the South African cricket team, AB de Villiers has not only changed his roles but also enhanced his qualities to the fullest. Today be it any format of the game, every team has a separate set of strategies to tackle the challenge AB poses to them.
He recently showed why he is termed so dangerous de Villiers broke the fastest ODI fifty and ODI century record in the same innings.
The South African skipper was in exceptional form in the World Cup 2015 as well, leading his team from the front. He marginally missed out on breaking the fastest ODI fifty record on the previous occasion, so in his innings of 162* vs West Indies in the world cup he ensured the record was amended to his name.
When he bats, rocks and rolls on the field not only spectators but bowlers, fielders and former cricketers are all in awe by his talent and class.
AB de Villiers has given people enough opportunities to praise him and quote a few beautiful lines for him.
Here are some of those captured in quotes that applaud AB de Villiers.
* "AB de Villiers is the most valuable cricketer of the planet" --- Adam Gilchrist
* "I have been saying for the past 30 years that Vivian Richards has to be the best batsman of all time but I am going to reassess that because this guy is something extraordinary" --- Bob Wilis
* "AB de Villiers is the definition of a cricketing genius" --- Michael Vaughan
* "There are only two games I dread, It's the two IPL games I played against this guy (AB)" --- Dale Steyn
* "I demand a DNA Test of AB de Villiers. This game is only for humans" --- Akash Chopra
