All-time World ODI XI post-2000

#5) AB de Villiers (South Africa)

South Africa

AB De Villiers is a former South African cricketer. He is regarded as one of the greatest batsmen of all time. De Villiers holds many batting records, including the world's fastest One Day International (ODI) 50, 100 and 150, the fastest Test century by a South African and the fastest Twenty20 International (T20I) 50 by a South African.

Mr. 360 takes the No. 5 spot in the XI. AB de Villiers is often regarded as the most versatile and one of the best batsmen of all time. de Villiers defied the laws of physics in ODIs. Versatility in shots and unorthodox batting style set him apart from other batsmen of the generation.

Apart from being a match winner in the batting department, he was perhaps the best fielder the game of cricket has ever seen.

In 288 matches for South Africa, AB de Villiers scored 9577 runs at an extraordinary average of 53.5 and a blistering strike rate of 101.1.

He is a modern day great and he will be batting at number 5 in this team.
