World Cup History: Five popular batsmen who picked up at least one wicket in WC

#5 AB de Villiers

AB De Villiers

Is there anything in the world that AB de Villiers can’t do? The answer to this question is 'no', especially if you're told that the South African has picked up as many as four wickets at the World Cup. De Villiers was a part of three World Cup squads for South Africa - 2007, 2011 and 2015 squads. He tried to end his international retirement and play in the ongoing World Cup too, but the South African team management didn't allow that.

After smashing the bowlers to all parts of the park, De Villiers decided to bowl some right-arm medium pace in the 2015 World Cup. He first bowled against Ireland and picked up the wicket of John Mooney, who was bowled. He then bowled against Pakistan, and still managed to pick up a wicket. He dismissed Younis Khan, who was caught by Rilee Rossouw. Against the UAE, he picked up two wickets. De Villiers even bowled against New Zealand in the semi-final, but couldn’t pick up a wicket.
