IPL 2020: Best XI from the league stage

4. AB de Villiers

The South-African cricketing stalwart AB de Villiers has been a sheer delight for franchise cricket all around the world. The charming gentleman of the game has added an extra ounce of spiciness for the cricket nerds with his finesse art. Much to the fans’ expectations, RCB retained the premier batsman yet again in the 2020 season and he has lived up to the billing once again.

The wizard has played his role to perfection launching assault on the tearaway pace-attacks comfortably. Moreover, the gritty-match winner, time and again, snatches the matches from the jaws of defeat. To his credit, De Villers has garnered 398 runs in 14 outings at a robust strike rate of 163.78. Notably, his decimating knock came against Rajasthan Royals in the reverse clash wherein he marched his troops single-handedly with a scintillating six to finish off in style.

For his bedazzling performance, he finds his name in the top-order of the Best XI. Sending chills down the spine of the opposition bowlers with his mere presence, he can take the bowlers on remand with sheer comfort.
