While many of her followers were in awe of the picture, one probable AB de Villiers fan blamed his wife to be the reason for his early retirement and that he would have been playing for South Africa in the World Cup. He also added that she had ruined his life and broken many hearts (of fans like him) across the world.

Danielle hits back

Clearly unimpressed with the level of comment of the fan, Danielle de Villiers chose to give the bloke a fitting reply, instead of ignoring him.

She was pretty sarcastic with her reply, as she warned the person to not question on the sanctity of their marriage. He also gave him a ‘friendly warning’ not to bear them with his pathetic and uninformed opinion.

This was the perfect reply she could have come up with. There have been many unfortunate cases where people try to malign the character and attempt to drag in the families of their favourite players into an unnecessary controversy. Her reply is surely a tight slap on people who resort to such comments.

It is worth mentioning that South Africa have become the second team after Afghanistan to crash out of the ongoing World Cup, post their 49-run loss against Pakistan at The Lord’s on Sunday.
