AB de Villiers

De Villiers could finish from almost anywhere, with an average above 50 and a strike rate above 100 in one-day cricket and a range of shots that made field settings irrelevant. His 31-ball hundred against the West Indies in 2015 is the record, but the case rests on how often he turned South Africa's late-overs pressure into surplus runs, and on his years carrying Royal Challengers Bengaluru's middle order.
