15 best tweets which will make AB de Villiers' fans emotional

In an imaginary world, AB de Villiers is still pummelling the runs at the international level and is holding the World Cup trophy in his hands which was his dream throughout the career. Sadly, when we pinch ourselves, they come back to the reality and realise that cricket is no more the same. The Superman from South Africa who is loved all over the World has called it a day and will be no more seen in the Green and Gold. He will still be playing the game he loves the most but it will not be for his country, unfortunately.

It is no surprise at all the Twitter is flooded with messages for the legend. The cricket enthusiasts and experts have been short of adjectives while describing the class and finesse of his batting. Moreover, his contribution to the game has been immense. The last time when Twitter had suffered such a major meltdown when Sachin Tendulkar had walked into the Sunset. But he got a well-deserved farewell which everyone dreamt of. There is a strong feeling amongst everyone that even De Villiers was worthy of the same.

Emotional tweets

The farewell speech of AB de Villiers on his official app ‘AB 17’ broke the millions of hearts as it was least anticipated the way he was batting in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Even during the Test series against Australia and India, he played a couple of game-changing knocks which eventually made the difference. But even he is a human being and was tired with the amount of cricket he has played in the last few years. While announcing his retirement, he admitted that he was ‘out of gas’ and it was inappropriate to continue.

Emotions flowed after the news broke out and there were calls for him to take a U-turn from his decision. There were also a few heart-touching messages for him which after reading must surely make him think about coming back to the field. But the legend has taken a decision and duly everyone has respected it as well.

Here are some of the tweets which paid the best tribute to Mr. 360:
