Twitterati Celebrated AB de Villiers’ Thunderous Return To International Cricket

crktlngBy crktlngUpdated:04/02/2023No Comments3 Mins Read

AB de Villiers is one of the best destructive batsmen in the history of the game. He has an unbelievable range of strokes that allows him to manipulate the field and attack the opposition at any stage of the innings.

The stylish Proteas batsman made a comeback to international cricket after a long gap and  hammered 176 off 104 balls with 15 fours and seven sixes. De Villiers made a mockery of Bangladesh’s bowling attack and once again proved to the world that he is the most destructive batsman in the shorter formats of the game.

De Villiers’ innings in his comeback game is now his highest ever score in ODI cricket, beating his previous best of 162* against the West Indies in 2015. As AB smashed Bangladeshi bowlers all around the stadium, Twitterati erupted in joy and celebrated the return of their favourite cricketer.

AB de Villiers is one of those cricketers who can unite cricket fans around the world with his batting. He is loved by and all and this is the reason why cricketing fraternity and fans erupted with happiness after his memorable knock.

Brief scores:

South Africa 353 for 6 (Hashim Amla 84, AB de Villiers 176 ; Shakib Al Hasan 2 for 60, Rubel Hossain 4 for 62) vs Bangladesh.
