South Africa v West Indies - 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup
AB De Villiers

Call him a freak or simply a batting genius, AB De Villiers was a magician with the willow. An immensely gifted batsman, AB De Villiers could toy with the best of bowlers courtesy his versatile strokeplay.

De Villiers could unearth the most unorthodox of strokes keeping the opposition bewildered. 'ABD' had the uncanny ability of choosing his spot and striking huge sixes. His six hitting was a combination of sublime timing and a perfect hand-eye coordination.

A whirlwind 31 ball ton against West Indies, the fastest ever ton in the history of ODI cricket was an exhibition of his masterclass. Be it Test, ODIs or T20s, De Villiers was a treat to watch when he was in the mood to take batting to another level.
