AB de Villiers proceeds to demonstrate that age is merely a few, as evident from his superlative knock against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at IPL 2020 on Monday night. The Southern African veteran, 36, blasted the KKR bowlers to all areas of Sharjah, powering Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) into some match-winning total of 194 for two in 20 overs. The accolades came thick and fast using RCB skipper Virat Kohli dubbing his teammate"superhuman." For long, there's been an increasing call from several quarters for De Villiers to come from retirement. Present India trainer Ravi Shastri drummed up that defeat once more, stating"the match in those stressful occasions or needs you back into the global arena.
"Now, the penny has dropped. Everything saw last night was unreal. And the atmosphere is ehe same waking up. @ABdeVilliers17, the match in those stressful occasions or needs you back into the global arena and from retirement. The match will probably be better off," Shastri tweeted Tuesday morning.
The South African had stunned the entire world by abruptly announcing his retirement from international cricket in May 2018.
His brilliance with the bat was again on display on Monday. To place De Villiers' knock into stanintot, Virat Kohli, that remained unbeaten and watched that the magic unfold fro unfolds non-striker's ending, ended up scoring 33 off 28 balls .
In response, KKR could just afford 112 for nine in their 20 overs, further demonstrating De Villiers' superhuman abilities.
The South African was batting on another amount to the others in Sharjah, but this isn't the first time he's done so. Even if Virat Kohli was fighting for runs on the first day of IPL 2020, De Villiers struck two half-centuries in three games to lower the harm of Kohli's failures.
De Villiers currently has 228 runs from seven matches in IPL 2020, averaging 57 and a hit rate of 185.36 -- greater than anybody in the top 20 of their'most runs' watched listing this past year.
