IPL Stats: Top 4 records by AB de Villiers in IPL history

#2 Most appearances for an overseas player

ABD has played some outrageous shots in his long-lasting IPL career

AB De Villiers has been a very consistent IPL player and has the highest batting average at the Chinnaswamy Stadium for someone who has played more than 10 matches. De Villiers is also the 10th highest run scorer in IPL history with 3953 runs averaging a solid 39.54 and a devastating strike rate of 150.93.

Another stat which highlights his consistency is the fact that he's the overseas player to have made the most appearances in the history of the IPL. It's very obvious that Indian players will hold an edge in this stat but De Villiers has always been a fit player and has rarely missed a match due to injury or poor form.

De Villiers has made 141 appearances and beats Kieron Pollard, who is in second place with 132 appearances. As IPL 2019 comes around, the South African is likely to put even more distance between himself and the rest in this area.
