He is the biggest superstar of modern day cricket! Some says him AB De Villiers and many hails him as Superman. And the man has returned in a grand style!
After an extended period of lay-off, Ab de Villiers marked his return to ODI cricket in style as he blasted a quickfire hundred against Bangladesh in the second ODI. His 25th ODI hundred, which came of just 68 deliveries, is now the seventh fastest by a South African.
De Villiers came took guard during a tricky period when South Africa, after being asked to bat first, had lost two wickets with the scoreboard on 90. However, in a classical counter-attacking game the right-handed batsman took the attack to the bowlers from the outset. While he did offer a chance early-on after miscuing a pull shot, the Tigers failed to latch onto the opportunity.
As a result, Bangladesh paid a heavy price for the lapse as De Villiers went to score a brisk century. He eventually fell for 176 off 104 balls as the Proteas put up a huge total of 354. In his innings of 176, De Villiers hit 15 boundaries and seven sixes.
