Again, this requires a lot of guts, apart from skill. This is possible by keeping his head still, centre-of-gravity low, and a quick change in the batting grip. Incredibly, he reverse sweeps without discrimination.
Lesser players execute it against spinners as it gives them more time to change the grip. The South African though plays it against both spinners and fast bowlers. Fast bowlers mind you, not dibbly-dobbly trundlers.
Imagine the setback to a speedster's confidence after being reverse swept. That's what AB de Villiers is capable of. Leaving the opposition demoralised and witless.
