South Africa's world record chasers: Where are they now?

AB de Villiers

Ab de Villiers’ career took a turn for the better in the subsequent years.

De Villiers is the only active international player of the lot and has become a living legend, owing to a remarkable transformation in his career graph which has made him one of the top batsmen of the game. Then only 21, de Villiers made a scratchy innings of 14 from 20 balls.

Since then, he has become a prolific run scorer in limited overs matches and holds the record for the fastest 50, 100 and 150 in one-day internationals. He has also become the second highest run-getter for South Africa in ODIs, with as many as 24 tons.
