#4 AB de Villiers
AB De Villiers shocked the entire world when he announced his retirement from International Cricket earlier this year. His decision was perplexing because the World Cup was just a year away and he was supposed to be the mainstay of the South African batting Lineup.
He has played two Test series this year and scored 638 runs in 7 matches at an average of 53.16 with 1 hundred and six half-centuries. He single-handedly denied India their first Test series victory in South Africa, by playing match-winning knocks in the first 2 Tests of the 3-match series earlier this year.
He stands at the 4th position among leading run-getters right now.
