AB de Villiers might be balanced or fall over while executing his leg hoick. Often, he over-balances while trying to meet the ball from the middle of the bat - making minor adjustments to enable himself to do so. The results are spectacular.

He would step outside the off-stump -- way outside -- and then, on one knee, he would connect the ball that bowler thought was a yorker, when he delivered it. In fact, the length doesn't matter. AB has the skill to move around the crease - (forward, back or sideways) just the right amount to manipulate the length to his liking.

If it's very full, it will go; and if it's a full toss, well then, it is catching practice for the crowd, for sure. It is so good, he should get it copyrighted.
