South Africa v Australia - 4th Test: Day 1
AB De Villiers- Superman of cricket

AB de Villiers (ABD), fondly known as 'Mr. 360 degree', is one of many reasons why cricket fans loved the South African team. Quoted as one of the best batsmen of all time, ABD was a nightmare for many international bowling attacks with his highly innovative shots.

ABD holds the record for fastest international 50, 100 and 150 in ODI cricket. In Test cricket, he holds an unbeaten streak of playing most innings without registering a duck (78), which ultimately ended in 2008. He shocked the cricket world with his retirement in May 2018 at an age of 34.

Though ABD has bludgeoned many bowlers with an array of shots, he couldn't sustain the form in England, scoring just a single century, although he has 47 international centuries in his career.

#3: Brian Lara, West Indies

England v West Indies Test Series Launch
Only cricketer to score a quintuple century in the history of First-Class cricket

Whenever we hear the name Brian Lara, the first and foremost record that comes to our mind is the quadruple century (400*) scored by him. Lara is one of the technically perfect batsmen ever to play this sport.

Ad

Getting trained by batting in nets against an elite group of West Indies bowlers, Lara dismantled many oppositions with his accurate timing and placement of shots. He is the only cricketer to score a quintuple century (500) in first-class cricket history.

Though Lara nearly conquered England in their backyard (3 centuries in England), he missed on 6 opportunities at Lord's to register his name on the honours board.
