AB de Villiers today match: De Villiers rewinds the clock in 3 Team Cricket Solidarity Cup

De Villiers rewinds the clock: Legendary South African batsman was seen targeting all parts of the ground in Solidarity Cup.

During the ongoing one-off match for the Solidarity Cup between Kingfishers, Kites and Eagles, former South Africa captain AB de Villiers put on display an extra ordinary brand of batting to propel Eagles to 160/4 in the allotted quota of 12 overs.

Leading his team in the exhibition match, de Villiers came in to bat at No. 3 in the first half to remain unbeaten till the end of the sixth over. De Villiers, 36, however, didn’t please his fans in a way that they would’ve liked.

Turning up in the second innings, the right-hand batsman then looked to make the most of his time in the middle knowing that it was his time to set a total for the other two teams.

From hitting praiseworthy shots against spinners to pulling a fast bowler for a six, de Villiers continually attacked the bowlers in the second half to eventually 61 (24) before being dismissed by Anrich Nortje.

Having opened up on his national comeback a couple of weeks ago, de Villiers matched his words with an apt performance with the bat. Apart from just walking his talk, de Villiers’ innings across two halves will go down as an exemplary one in this format.

While batsmen were expected to go after the bowlers from the word go, de Villiers didn’t do the same. Instead, he played a second fiddle in the first half to be able to bat dominantly in the second one.
