T20I XI of 2017

AB de Villiers

AB de Villiers

Mr. 360 is a perfect fit when it comes to T20s. His unorthodox batting style and innovative shots make him one of the best batsmen in this format. The South African has 304 runs to his name in 7 matches at an average of 50.66 and a strike rate of 152 and is the third highest run-getter in T20s this year.

De Villiers has a couple of half-centuries to his name this year and has hit 8 sixes in his 7 matches. His highest score this year came against England at Southampton on the 21st of June, where he scored an unbeaten 65.

de Villiers has the ability to take apart any bowling attack in the middle and death overs and is the perfect middle order batsman in T20s.
