An exceptional mixture of wonder, ferocity, and elegance, AB de Villiers is one such player who took the cricket world by storm.

The former South African skipper started off his Indian T20 league vocation with the Delhi Capitals. In the IPL 2009, he scored heavily for the then Daredevils with a total of 465 runs at an exceptional average of 51.66.

Despite having a fair performance for the franchise, Mr. 360 was not retained by Delhi Capitals.

In the 2011 IPL Auction, AB was picked up for US$1.5 million by Royal Challengers Bangalore. He has been the greatest finisher for them since, scoring 25 fifties and two centuries with a record two 200+ partnerships and five 100+ partnerships (both with Virat Kohli).

The 2016 IPL was his best season where he scored 687 runs at an impressive strike rate of 168.79.

His destructive batting performance at the middle-order can push the pressure back on the opposition and would serve RCB well in the tournament.
