IPL 2016: Top 7 performers of the month

AB de Villiers

AB de Villiers has been firing at all cylinders for Royal Challengers Bangalore

What can one say of AB de Villiers that has already not been said? Virat Kohli has called him the best batsman of this generation. Though De Villiers failed to perform for South Africa according to expectations in the World T20 2016, he is backing to doing what he does best. That is dismissing bowlers all around the park.

The South African maverick has been in unbelievable form in this year's IPL as he has strung one successful partnership after another with Virat Kohli. In fact, the Kohli-ABD partnerships have turned out to be one of the most cherished things about this year's IPL so far.

When the two of the best batsmen in the world bat together, there is not much more that cricket fans can ask for. ABD has started coming in at number 3 for the RCB and with Kohli opening the innings now, they have enjoyed fruitful partnerships this season.

The Kohli and ABD pair has been devastating for any opposition. On the flip side, RCB have become too dependent on the duo when it comes to scoring runs.

De Villiers has amassed 316 runs from 6 matches at an average of 52.66. He has scored these runs at a great strike-rate of 166.31. Cricket fans around the world would pray that ABD keeps going!
