If a popularity check were done in India for who is considered the favourite overseas cricketer by the Indian public AB de Villiers will rank high on that list, if not finish on top.

The South African right-hander, who made his ODI debut in 2004, has always worn the number '17' on his back, while playing for the Proteas.

According to a report on The Hindu, the 33-year-old wears the number on his back because he was born on the 17th of February 1984, and made his Test debut against England on the 17th of December 2004.

AB de Villiers will go down as one of the best cricketers that South Africa has ever produced and once he is done with the game, one hopes that his jersey number is retired as well.
