Watch: AB de Villiers slams young leg-spinner Rashid Khan
AB de Villiers is the master of the limited overs cricket. He might have been little wobbly in some of his recent games but his threat is always alive whenever he is in the middle holding the bat.
South Africa faced Afghanistan in their 2nd match of the Super 10 stage of the World T20 after losing their opening match to England. The match was very important and they needed to put on a strong show against the emerging Asian team,
As expected, the South African batsmen played extremely well and posted their second consecutive 200+ total in the ongoing tournament. Quinton de Kock and Faf du Plessis played wonderful knock while JP Duminy and David Miller also scored valuable runs.
However, AB de Villiers dazzling 64 from just 29 balls was the highlight of their innings. His innings was studded with 5 sixes and 4 fours. Although he smashed all bowlers without any discrimination, young 17-year-old leg-spinner Rashid Khan was the one faced the worst outlash from him.
The leggie came in to bowl the 17th over of the match and was clobbered for 29 runs in the over. De Villiers cracked four sixes and four in that overs to give the young bowler some bitter taste of bowling at the highest level. The leggie has been highly impressive in his past games had hardly receives such bashing in the past.
The first two balls of his over were deposited for a six and a four. De Villiers then went on to hit a hattrick of sixes and brought up his half-century. He end the over with a single.
