Former South Africa cricketer AB de Villiers [https://www.essentiallysports.com/bbl-2019-20-watch-ab-de-villiers-names-three-best-batsmen/] has been in the news for quite some times now. Earlier he wanted to return in the national team for the upcoming T20 World Cup, now he shared his desire to play for Brisbane Heat in the next Big Bash League. The Brisbane Heat’s Big Bash League season 09 has come to an end with a defeat to Melbourne Renegades, which ended their hopes of reaching to the eliminators. The batting legend joined the team in the mid-way and did pretty well with the bat. He smashed a match-winning 37-ball 71 against table-toppers Melbourne Stars to keep their hope alive. However, his effort went in vain as they failed to win the game. He has played 6 matches and scored 146 runs at an average of 24.33 with the best score of 71 with a strike rate of 140.38. He made his debut in Big Bash League and he wanted to return in the next season as well. AB de Villiers [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/AB-DeVilliers.jpg]AB de Villiers AB DE VILLIERS ON HIS RETURN “Let’s hope so, it’s quite a long way away still but I would love to come back. I had really a lot of fun with Chris and (coach) Darren (Lehmann) and the boys. They looked after me like I was one of their own. We played some really poor cricket … myself to blame in a way. We were a little bit lackadaisical with our batting effort. Just a little bit of intensity, just a bit of experience (is required) – hopefully, I can be that guy,” he said. On the other hand, Brisbane Heat captain Chris Lynn [http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/player/326637.html] also praised de Villiers effort and wanted to see him in the team as well.

AB de Villiers Biography

Abraham Benjamin de Villiers, also known as Mr 360, what can be said about him? AB de Villiers has grown to become one of the world's best batsmen. When in form, de Villiers is deadly with a capital D.

The South African possesses the knack of tearing into any bowling attack. AB de Villiers has the capability of giving bowlers nightmares for days on end. At a young age, every selector had their eyes trained on him alone. He was soon rewarded with a berth among the Proteas at the age of 20 in 2004.

In his Test debut at home against England, he almost single-handedly rescued South Africa from the jaws of defeat. In the same series, he smashed his maiden Test century. With that, the legend of AB de Villiers was born.

However, a year later, like most players, a slump in his form plagued him. But he combatted that with an astounding 217 against India. In the process AB de Villiers set a record as the first South African to smash a double ton against India.

Ab de Villiers possesses a mainstream attacking game, he complements that with a back-and-across trigger movement and a late-block in his defensive arsenal. Aside from that, he tends to play in accordance with the situation and conditions as well.

However, he is not invincible, if an elbow surgery in 2016 is any proof. As a result, he made an appearance in only one Test series all year. Following his recovery, AB de Villiers returned to the limited-overs formats, but avoided Test cricket to 'lighten his workload'.

IPL Career

With regard to the IPL AB de Villiers is a fan favourite in any city. De Villiers has been in the IPL right from its inception in 2008. During that time, he was with the Delhi Daredevils.

But he truly announced himself to the world when he joined the Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2011. He still delivered handsomely for Delhi, courtesy a 105 against the Chennai Super Kings.

He was let go by Delhi in the wake of a poor 2010 season and RCB pounced immediately. They nabbed him for a whopping 1.1 million dollars and they were going to make Delhi regret their decision to drop him.

Since then, AB de Villiers has proven his money's worth for Bangalore. The big-hitting South African formed a dangerous triumvirate with skipper, Virat Kohli and Jamaican star, Chris Gayle. He ended up as the leading run-getter for RCB for three seasons.

IPL 2019 Expectations

Now, AB de Villiers has stuck around with the Royal Challengers for yet another season. The team are desperate for a maiden IPL triumph inspite of boasting the strongest batting line-up ever. He has achieved a high score of an unbeaten 133* back in 2015 at a strike rate of 175.08.
