A B de Villiers: The most feared batsman of modern era

Abraham Benjamin de Villiers or better known as Mr 360 is a super human when it comes to the game of cricket. One of the most feared batsman of modern era, de Villiers is also one of the finest fielders on a cricket field. Add to that his ability to fill in the shoes of a wicketkeeper and you are talking of a complete cricket package.

After having served a successful stint with Delhi Daredevils in the first three IPL seasons, by whom he surprisingly let go, de Villiers was bought by RCB prior to IPL 2011. He is one of the major reasons why RCB have been considered as the most dreaded batting line ups of all time as he formed an integral part of the trio of Gayle-Kohli-AB.

In his 127 IPL matches, de Villiers has accumulated 3426 runs at a health average of 38.07 and a glaring strike rate of 148.18. He has hit 153 sixes in the tournament, most of which have often left crowds gaping and bowlers dumbfounded. With 22 50's, 3 centuries and a best of 133* to his name, A B de Villiers is an all time IPL legend. His worth as a match winner is best demonstrated by his 15 Man of the Match awards.

With yet another season beckoning him, he would aim to do what he aims for his country. Playing international cricket to win South Africa a World Cup, de Villiers will be hopeful of helping RCB lay their hands on IPL silverware.
