Cricketers and their superhero equivalents

AB de Villiers - Superman

AB de Villiers is called 'The Superman of Cricket' because of his extraordinary talent to do things which other cricketers cannot even think of. Fans like to say that AB comes from another planet, just like the Superman comes from Krypton.

AB's batting is all about improvisation and the out-of-the-box shots he plays. These shots just do not come easily to anyone unless they have loads of talent. Because of their superhuman abilities, the reference is quite apt.
