6 South African players to watch out for in the Gandhi Mandela series

6 South African players to watch out for in the Gandhi Mandela series: Now the excitement levels of millions of cricket crazy people are soaring high as we are inching closer to the beginning of the most awaited series of the year, the Gandhi-Mandela series. The South African team fared up brilliantly against the Kiwi’s in the recently concluded ODI series after the T20I series had ended in a tie. But in India they would be tested to the hilt as the tour will also mark their return to the sub-continent where they had tasted defeat in ODIs against Bangladesh, few months ago. The Proteas would like to end their drought as far as winning bilateral ODI series in India is concerned.

So, let’s have a look at the 6 South African players to watch out for in the Gandhi Mandela series:

1. AB de Villiers:

These days there is hardly any batsman in the league of the South African ODI skipper Abraham Benjamin de Villiers. From donning the hat of the batsman who resurrects a struggling innings to the one who dons the role of an aggressor or from captaining his side to fielding like Superman, this man has the audacity to pull off anything spectacular on the field. This year he has already torn apart many bowling line-ups in the colored jersey and has accumulated 835 ODI runs at an exemplary average of 75.91. AB is very comfortable against spin and against India he has aggregated 921 runs in ODIs at an average of 46 with 3 tons to his credit. In T20Is as well he is a force in himself.
