5 must-haves for the South Africa-Sri Lanka ODI series

#1 AB de Villiers (South Africa) – 10

This great man needs no introduction. AB de Villiers is one of the most complete cricketers in the world right now. It had been nearly six months since the Proteas’ ODI captain last played before he featured in the final T20I against Sri Lanka, where he was the top scorer for his side with a vital knock of 63 off 44 balls.

In Oye Captain, he is the joint-highest costliest player at 10. The 32-year-old, however, will definitely be one of the top performers as he will be looking to prove to everyone that being away has not affected his game at all. He is a livewire on the field, and can get you points through catches and run-outs too.

His average of 51.82 in 86 home ODIs is nothing short of phenomenal and de Villiers will be looking to use this series as the perfect preparation for the 2017 Champions Trophy.
