4 most creative batsmen of the modern game

#1 AB de Villiers - South Africa

AB de Villiers is the most creative batsman

Unarguably the most creative batsman to ever play the game of cricket, AB de Villiers retired recently from all forms of international cricket but left behind tons of memories filled with unbelievable shots and superhuman fielding efforts. Fondly named Mr. 360 degree, the humble destroyer had the ability to hit any bowler to any part of the ground with shots that defied the laws of physics on many occasions.

The fan following that AB enjoyed in South Africa and across the world especially in India where he played and rocked in the cricket fest - IPL, is a result of his flamboyant batting style. With numerous records against his name, one that stands out is the fastest ODI 100 that he scored off an astonishing 31 deliveries against the hapless West Indian bowling lineup.

AB de Villiers was a team man and always played as the situation demanded. A rather unusual knock of 33 off 220 balls in the Adelaide test against Australia in 2012-13 to save the game is a testimony to the fact that AB has supreme control over his mind and can curb his natural instincts for the team.

He played 114 tests, 228 ODIs and 78 T20Is with a remarkable batting average of over 50 in ODIs and Tests.
