10 most stylish batsmen in IPL 2016

2) AB de Villiers

AB de Villiers is probably the only player in the world right now who can play a shot that is 100% on power and yet, 100% on elegance too, a rare gift that is bestowed once in a generation.

AB finished with 687 runs but those included sweeps off fast bowlers, reverse sweeps off fast bowlers, flicks off his pads, gorgeous on-drives with a whirly whip of his bat around his head and booming cover drives.

The 360-degree player has earned his sobriquet thanks to mind-numbing footwork and magical wrist work combined with a genius mind, the complete athlete on show at Bangalore, a pitch tailor-made for run-machines.
