Abraham Benjamin de Villiers is one of the greatest modern day and the most reputed cricketer in the world. Having made his debut in 2004, his initial role was of a wicketkeeper-batsman. However, for most of the career, he played solely as a batsman. De Villiers currently holds the One-day international record for the fastest 50, 100 and 150.

He is also known as the most innovative batsmen in world cricket, capable of playing shots at every corner of the park. De Villiers announced his retirement from international cricket on 23rd May 2018. De Villiers's only unfulfilled dream at the international arena was winning an ICC tournament which South Africa were deprived of owing to succumbing in every knockout game and the lack of winning crucial group games.

AB de Villiers is by far the greatest batsmen South Africa has ever had. He will be sorely missed by South Africa for the upcoming 2019 World Cup since he is a one-man wrecking crew who can turn the match on its head.
