AB has become the most valuable cricketer on the planet' Adam
Gilchrist AB de Villiers is one of the finest batsmen ever to play
cricket, and yet his achievement extends beyond his outrageous
armoury of drives, pulls, paddles, scoops and flicks. Whether he is
delighting home crowds at the Wanderers or Newlands or setting new
records in Bengaluru or Sydney, he plays the game in a
whole-hearted manner that projects a positive image of his country
around the world, and also makes millions of South Africans feel
good about themselves. This is AB's story, in his own words. The
story of the youngest of three talented, sports-mad brothers
growing up in Warmbaths, of a boy who excelled at tennis, rugby and
cricket, of a youngster who made his international debut at the age
of twenty and was then selected in every single test played by
South Africa for the next eleven seasons, of a batsman who has
started to redefine the art, being ranked among the world's very
best in test, ODI and T20. Through all the pyrotechnics and
consistency, AB de Villiers has remained a true sportsman - quick
to deflect praise, swift to praise opponents, eager to work hard,
to embrace the team's next challenge and to relish what he still
regards as the huge privilege of representing his country. This is
the story of a modern sporting phenomenon.
