What goes through the mind of AB de Villiers while batting

#1 Something new for the crowd to see:

Such audacious strokes can only be played by this man

Cover drives, square cuts, flicks, pulls, straight drives. These strokes are for mortals. “Batsmen” play these strokes, don’t they? A “Super-human” like AB has to play strokes which no other batsman would even dream about playing, simply because of the sheer ability the guy possesses. So what does someone blessed with such supreme talent think in this regard?

His mind would be telling him to try and bring out some truly outrageous strokes from his vast and seemingly unending repertoire in each game, so that spectators can go back home having witnessed something they would cherish for the rest of their lives.

Sample these – Sitting down on the right knee and flicking a pacer over fine leg for a six. Lapping the ball over short third man with a reverse sweep off a fast bowler who is trying a yorker. Reverse sweeping spinners off any length and with enough power to send the ball into the stands!

Such audacious strokes can only be played by this man, and there isn’t any doubt that his mind would be constantly driving him to try and execute something new in every innings he plays.
