AB de Villiers brushed aside Shahid Afridi and Corey Anderson’s remarkable records  

#3 Bowlers are left scratching their heads

AB de Villiers
He ruthlessly chose the direction in which the ball would have to travel

When the 42nd over was completed, South Africa had crossed the 300-mark. The visitors were clueless about how they could stop the demolition process. They even re-introduced the gentle medium-pace of Dwayne Smith in order to somehow unsettle de Villiers.

But, he carried on relentlessly by cashing in on everything that came in his hitting zone. Even those decent deliveries which were meant to restore sanity to the proceedings failed to escape punishment. The sight of de Villiers repeatedly getting down on one knee and slapping fast bowlers to sixes behind the stumps left West Indies gasping for breath.
