AB de Villiers regarded as ‘Mr 360’ by his fans is known for his fantastic hitting. In a match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kings XI Punjab, de Villiers played a one handed blinder shot and sent the ball into the orbit. De Villiers played an awesome knock of 82 runs including 7 maximums and 3 boundaries.
The incident happened in the 19th over when Mohammed Shami was bowling his last spell. AB de Villiers already hit two sixes in a row in the 4th and 5th ball. Shami bowled a full toss which AB didn’t wanted to miss. So, he sat down on his knees and hit the ball with even looking at it. The ball travelled all the way and went out of the park.
