5 things AB de Villiers did not achieve in his career

Not breaching the 10000 run mark in any of the format

In a career lasting just 14 years, de Villiers could not breach the 10000 run mark

For a large part of his career, de Villiers was South Africa's best batsman. He was the wicket the opposition wanted. He was the player they dread the most.

He played some exhilarating inning during the course of his career, but eventually could not get to the 10000-run mark in Test or ODI cricket.

In the long format of the game, he finishes with 8765 runs in 114 Tests at an average of 50.66 and in ODIs his tally reads: 228 matches, 9577 runs at an average of 53.50.
