Twitter Reacts After AB De Villiers Smashes Jasprit Bumrah-led Mumbai Indians Attack To The Tune Of 24-Ball 55
Updated - 28 Sep 2020, 11:32 PM
Oh AB de Villiers! You freak of a batsman! Why did you retire so soon? Once again ‘Mr 360’ forced his millions of fans to get absolutely gobsmacked courtesy his brutal takedown of the best white-ball bowler of the current era in Jasprit Bumrah, smashing the Indian pace spearhead for 28 in just eight balls during his maniac 24-ball 55 against Mumbai Indians on Monday.
After having missed out in the last game, AB de Villiers hit his traps right from the outset, smashing the Jasprit Bumrah-led Mumbai Indians attacks to all corners of the Dubai International stadium.
After Virat Kohli got dismissed for a painstaking 11-ball 3, RCB needed their other trump card in AB de Villiers to spearhead the innings after Aaron Finch and Devdutt Padikkal had got their side off to a brilliant start.
AB de Villiers took Bumrah for 17 runs in the next over and in the process registered his 2nd 50 of the tournament. His takedown of Bumrah and Shivam Dube’s annihilation of James Pattinson in the final over meant, RCB eventually posted 3-201 in 20 overs, smashing 78 runs in the last 5 overs.

I don’t think @ABdeVilliers17 is worried about rust @bhogleharsha ; he is probably more concerned about being able to touch his toes tomorrow after this sublime cameo, and 20 overs of ‘keeping ? https://t.co/fLPYX8BaUO

The way AB De Villiers hits one of the best bowlers with ease, remarkable. This man has hardly played any competitive cricket this year, and only in the 3rd match he's showing the glimpses of which calibre player he is.

Gary Sobers. Vivian Richards. AB de Villiers.
Three most prolific attacking players who could take on any bowling attack anywhere in the world. (If you haven’t then do watch clips of Sobers batting. Sheer brilliance!)
