5 Cricketers and their defining aptitudes

4. AB de Villiers – Defying cricketing logic:

Abraham Benjamin de Villiers has rose from the ranks to become one of the world’s best batsmen, across all formats. When on song, De Villiers can take any bowling apart with his wide array of strokes on either side of the wicket. His shots often defy conventional sense and leave most of us speechless. Be it the reverse sweep of the pacers or the revolutionary ramp shot his ability to innovate has left bowlers hapless on many occasions. He has the skills and temperament to back up his creative intent. His fabulous footwork against the spinners is a treat to watch. Cricket should be pleased to have him.
