Top 5 death overs batsmen in the IPL

1. AB de Villiers

AB de Villiers is a man of so many skills that he could be placed in a variety of lists – most dogged match-saver, most innovative players, seemingly supernatural human beings, to name some; but the role that his outrageous batting at the end of an innings has played in enhancing his reputation cannot be brushed aside.

In fact, it is likely that his brand of ‘Distort & Destroy’ cricket may be the only thing he might be remembered by in the decades to come. And there is nothing wrong with that.

De Villiers is a maverick bordering on revolutionary. He is a force that few, but himself can stop. But most importantly, he is the only man on the planet who can add a minimum of 30 runs to the target every time he’s not out at the end of the innings.
