de Villiers is the Next Brand!!!

Is that anything that AB de Villiers can’t do? If you think No, then think again. Name it and de Villiers is there in the list. To start things off:-

On-Field achievements: If a player in a team can be placed at any position in the field & do wonders for you at same time if he score runs at a blistering strike rate with consistency doesn’t it makes a captains work a lot easier. And if he also keeps-wicket behind the stumps in emergence and blessed with cricketing mind-set to run the game that’s just puts the cherry on top.

Yes there is a man that could all of those things in the game of cricket. His name is AB de Villiers. Abraham Benjamin de Villiers is the man you are looking for your team. He is now been referred as “World’s No.1 test batsmen” and just to justify his tag he is not only No.1 ranked batsmen player in the one-day internationals but also in the longest format of cricket. He is the player of all seasons.

He is doing it all on his own capability.

He is just keep continuing his form what others call a ‘Purple Patch’ in their careers.  de Villiers ability as batsmen has prompted a universal appreciation for his stroke making ability in pressure situation and he often invents an unorthodox shot when others would have just played “sensible”.

AB de Villiers is now been looked upon the player that could carry forward the torch from the great like Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Pointing, Jacques Kallis etc. with these legends been retired de Villiers is the new heavyweight batsmen of the International Cricket.

His performance can be judged or moreover can be accepted by the kind of runs he scores consistently when his team is under pressure and these runs have come all-over the globe against each test playing nation. These series of runs-scoring machine started off against Australia in 2012 home series and since then he has scored 12 consecutive test half centuries pervious best being 11 consecutive held by Legends like Viv Richards and greats like Virender Sehwag, Gautum Gambhir.

With his century-knock against Australia in the on-going series he has achieved several milestone of its own. He brought his 19^th ton and became only fourth South African to pass 7,000 Test runs, after Jacques Kallis, Graeme Smith and Gary Kirsten.

Talking of the current series, he was on the pitch on three occasions and has scored 91 & 48 both fighting innings that went in vain losing to Australia in the first test, meanwhile in the second test he earned 116 runs against name but also was featured in 149 run partnership with JP Duminy for the sixth wicket before falling to Lyon (figures 46-7-130-5) that can be graded as a soft dismissal by his standards.

Off-field Talent: If you thought de Villiers is a threat on the cricket field, well think again folks. He is a versatile individual and one its own kind. He could have pursued a career in a host of other sports namely, A scratch golfer, Rugby, Football, Swimming, Hockey and Tennis to a national junior standard.

Apart from sports-person, de Villiers is also a Musician, Surprised, not at all, he is a singer, plays guitar and writes his own stuff. His debut album, Maak Jou Drome Waar (African’s for “Make Your Dreams Come True) had already created a stir in South Africa.

It’s no doubt that AB de Villier is a special player, highly competitive individual but what out-stand him is his humbleness and this makes him the most loved person.

And whether I missed it, he can bowl and he is also the captain of ODI and T20 Internationals for SA. He is truly a Cricketing Golden Boy in modern era.

Thanks for hanging around….Keep reading and never say bye to me!!
