ICC Champions Trophy 2017: 5 things India should be wary of against South Africa

#2 The phenomenal AB de Villiers

De Villiers was run out in a tense chase against India in the 2015 World Cup and would not want to make another mistake

India can never rest until they have this man back in the hut while South Africa are batting. De Villiers will be determined to put behind his golden duck against Pakistan and lead South Africa to the semi-finals.

The World's no.1 ranked ODI batsman is determined on winning trophies for South Africa and has turned his focus completely to ODIs which makes him a bigger threat than he ever was. The last two times India played South Africa, De Villiers smacked hundreds to take his team to victory.

He is the binding factor in South Africa's middle-order, a terrific runner between the wickets and a brilliant player of spin which leaves India with very limited options to try and get him out. They will take relief from the fact that left-hand spinners have had some success against the South African of late (Krunal Pandya has got him four times in four IPL games) and use Jadeja against him.

Ashwin has also had the better of the 360° man in Tests although the One Day record is largely in favour of De Villiers.
