AB de Villiers

They call him the wizard of the game. His ability to produce extraordinary performances, and hit gigantic sixes has made him the crowd's favorite. He has retired from cricket but will play in the next edition of IPL, for Royal Challengers Bangalore.

De Villiers is known for his unorthodox batting style and playing out-of-the-box cricketing shots. They have nicknamed him Mr. 360 for his ability to play shots anywhere in the ground.

He has given nightmares to all the leading bowlers of his generation and won several matches for his team, single-handedly. They never seem to get enough of him. His humble demeanor has been the icing on the cake, making him hugely popular with the Indian fans.

In the IPL, he has scored 3953 runs at an average of 39.53 with a strike rate of 150.93. His superb athleticism has fetched him 87 catches as well.
