Approaching milestones for South African players

The Proteas have not had a very good 2015 as a limited overs team though they fared poorly in the longest format conceding their 9-year unbeaten overseas record to India and touched another low losing the Boxing Day Test to England but as the team is under transition and are looking to find a settled combination. Here we enlist some of the South African players and the milestones they are approaching.

1. AB de Villiers:

A batsman with the ability to hit some breathtaking shots and entertain the crowds in a majestic fashion, AB de Villiers is widely considered as one of the greatest cricketers of all time. His skill and temperament are quite pleasing for the eyes. Being an established cricketer of the Proteas unit, he also has the most number of milestones waiting to be achieved.

– He is 50 runs short of 8000 Test runs.

– One more fifty and he will have the second highest number of half centuries by a South African after Kallis in Tests.

– AB de Villiers is 2 dismissals short of 100 dismissals in Tests.

– He is 4 fifties short of 50 half centuries in ODIs

– AB needs 2 catches to become the player with most catches in T20Is.
