Former South African captain A.B.De Villiers has decided to retire from cricket a short while ago. He announced this with an emotional message on Twitter.
“It has been an incredible journey, but I have decided to retire from all cricket. Ever since the back yard matches with my older brothers, I have played the game with pure enjoyment and unbridled enthusiasm. Now, at the age of 37, that flame no longer burns so brightly.”
He holds the record for fastest 50,100 and 150 in ODI cricket and is the only batsman ever to average above 50 with a strike rate of above 100. A matchwinner in any given situation, he was one of the greatest batters especially in white ball cricket South Africa has ever produced.
