Top 5 No. 6 South African Test batsmen of all time

#1 AB de Villiers

There is seriously nothing that Abraham Benjamin de Villiers cannot do. Even though the maverick prefers batting at either number 4 or 5, he never disappointed the team if he was asked to bat lower down the order. With 2394 runs in this position, including 5 centuries and fourteen fifties, de Villiers summarises that cricketer who can successfully adjust according to the side’s needs.

Despite playing just 40 of his 110 matches at 6, he consistently notched up the runs and hence occupies the numero uno ranking in the list.
