The best ever cricketer in South Africa, of the planet, of the galaxy, of the universe, of the Multiverse.
You can't just stop him. It's impossible. When on song, his lyrics can be bone-chillers for the horrified bowlers. By the way, he's an amazing singer too. And a swimming record-breaker too. And a rugby champ as well. A quick runner also. Smart at badminton, awesome at tennis and absolutely a pro at football. He is........
AB DE VILLIERS!
"The finest cricketer of his generation." quoted by King Kohli. (Virat Kohli, I call him as 'Viking' too 'cause he's brave just like a Viking and his name sounds similar too)"The most valuable cricketer on the planet." Adam Gilchrist. "Genius" Ricky Ponting. "I demand a DNA test of AB de Villiers. As only humans are allowed to play cricket." These are Aakash Chopra's words. "There is nothing which AB de Villiers can't do on the cricket field." by the brilliant cricket analyst, Harsha Bhogle.
I can't agree more with these greats. Especially Harsha Bhogle. What is it that AB de Villiers can't do? Here are a few instances where Aakash Chopra is proved true-
EXAMPLE 1
The day AB de Villiers scored 149 runs off a meagre 44 balls, against West Indies in 2015. He scored his hundred of 31 balls, breaking Corey Anderson's record (a New Zealand all-rounder) which was a century off 36 balls, against the selfsame West Indies. He hit 16 sixes and 8 fours within 44 balls! I can't even do that in Gully Cricket! He hit so many outrageous shots, those too on 150kmph deliveries! Such as-
EXAMPLE 2
The day he scored 43 off 298 deliveries in a test match against India, in Ahmedabad. South Africa was destined to lose this match, if not for the Superman of Cricket, our beloved ABD! He defended, defended, defended and defended so much that South Africa turned this match into a draw! Ravindra Jadeja bowled 34 maiden overs! South Africa scored only 148 of 148 overs! But, all of that was OK as far as South Africa didn't lose! And from those 43 runs, AB scored 6 boundaries too! Tedious work!!

Guys, it would be unbelievably kind of you if you check out my 2 poems on AB de Villiers, which are written right here-
Nay; give up on stoppin' him
Instead, just go to the restroom and give your beard a trim
Of shots, he has got his own plethora
Running in to bowl to him, is equivalent to opening the box of Pandora
On as well as off the field, he's an all-rounder
With his shots, he is an astounder
Always a leader... Never a follower
Occasionally, can also be a medium-fast bowler
Very humble, and down-to-earth
His kindness and warmth make one feel as if he's sitting next to his home's hearth
Always active on the field
Opposition players have to keep their eyes peeled!
The day he told international cricket goodbye
I screamed with anguish, and for an hour I did cry!
He's a wonderful fielder too
He can just leap and take a catch; leaving the batsman without any clue
Superman and ABD
And even Mr.360
Are his nicknames
ABD also loves playing board games!
At the end, telling only one thing I can afford:
If Cricket is a religion, then ABD is the God!
