Further, he holds the record of hitting the most number of sixes in an ODI innings and is also the fastest player to reach 8000 runs in the same format.
What’s more? Well, it’s not just about limited overs format, Ab de Villiers has also played some incredible innings in Test cricket and from saving his team from a loss to taking the game for an impossible draw while playing defensive, he has proved time and time again of being a perfect complete package.
However, Ab de Villiers suffered from a lengthy lay-off due to an elbow injury and ended up skipping the test series against England and New Zealand. But, he is an integral part of the limited overs side and received the best of gifts when South Africa defeated New Zealand at the Kiwis’ own backyard in the T20I played between the two sides on his 33rd birthday. De Villiers played a convincing inning of 26 and his team ended up registering a total of 186, against which New Zealand kneel down after scoring only 107 runs.
