AB de Villiers- Not just another cricketer

The South African has left his mark on the game of cricket. His innovation has helped many cricketers to try unconventional and innovative shots to score runs.

The 34-year old has been one of the most accomplished players in recent times with his bat. His ability to adapt to any conditions and play according to the situation sets him apart. De Villiers will be dearly missed by the South African cricket team and also by the fans across the world.

Let us hope, he plays in Indian Premier League as well next season, although he is committed only to play for his home side Titans in domestic cricket.
