5 Incredible Knocks that separate AB de Villiers from the rest

5 Incredible Knocks that separate AB de Villiers from the rest: The time has perhaps come for a research on whether AB de Villiers is actually human or simply an extra terrestrial supernatural. Cricketing pundits are struggling to find roles he can’t play on the field. It is one thing to be the best batsman in the world and quite another to be that by some distance and across formats. AB by every standard is the unconquered numero uno in world cricket at the moment. Courtesy the quality of innings he often displays, even the conservatives and the more reserved voices go gaga over this individual. If you are a true cricket fan you’ve got to love watching him bat. Here we take a look at his top 5 knocks that make him stand in a completely separate league of his own:

1. 162* v/s West Indies:

The superlative performance came in the 2015 World Cup where he murdered the Caribbean attack with his outstanding stroke play scoring a mind boggling 162 off just 66 deliveries at the Sydney Cricket Ground. He scored the century in just 52 balls, the second fastest in World Cups. The knock powered South Africa to 408-5 in their allotted 50 over’s, the second highest total in a World Cup contest. Whatever the West Indies team tried, de Villiers just kept hitting them further and further into the stands.
