If bowlers thought AB de Villiers in green and gold is their biggest nightmare, they were possibly wrong. It is AB de Villiers in pink that is even more dangerous. The Proteas skipper has a mind blowing record in pink and the trend continued.

De Villiers has two hundreds in four games in the pink jersey, including the fastest 50 and 100 in ODI cricket. In the four matches in pink he had played this far, de Villiers has scored 390 runs at an average of 97.5. The skipper added a half-century to that tally in another top notch innings.

Although, very much slower than his blitzkrieg knocks in pink, this was another de Villiers special that proved that he is a different beast in the pink jersey. Fancy playing the Champions Trophy in pink, South Africa?
