5 best athletes for the week May 9th-15th May

3.AB de Villiers

There was never going to be any debate on who was to part of this list from cricket. For an innings of 129 not out in 52 balls which included a staggering 12 sixes, The right-hander finds himself in the list for the most influential men in sport for the last week.

It was pure carnage at the Chinnaswamy and sadly, the Gujarat Lions were at the receiving end of it as everybody was carted to all corners of the venue.

That innings helped his side reach an imposing total of 249, which proved too big a total for the visitors to chase down.
