How the Big names fared in the World T20

AB de Villiers – Poor

In European football, it is fairly common for a player, irrespective of the position he plays to find it difficult to perform at the same level internationally despite being a club star. The same is the case with South African batsman AB de Villiers. But, in the context of the two different sports, cricket remains pretty much the same in any league apart from the change in format.

Each time de Villiers wields his bat that brings smiles on the faces of players in the Royal Challengers Bangalore squad, AB de Villiers cannot do the same in the green and gold of the ‘Protea fire’. And what’s worse, is the fact that he performs well in the longer formats for South Africa. In the recently concluded World T20, de Villiers had a rather poor outing, making little impact in the South African cause.
