No specific plans for AB de Villiers, Says Bangladesh coach Chandika Hathurusingha

No specific plans for AB de Villiers, Says Bangladesh coach Chandika Hathurusingha: Bangladesh is in exceptional form lately as they registered series wins against Pakistan and India. But they would be well aware of the fact that their next assignment against the Proteas will be an uphill task. Bangladesh team’s tactics against AB de Villiers would be crucial in deciding their chances of winning. AB has established himself as one of the best players with his consistent performances. His ability to score quick runs and to win matches single handedly makes him a dangerous player. His technique and stroke play combined with improvisation takes his game to another level. On his day he can decimate the bowlers with his belligerent batting. It’s tough to plan strategies against him as there aren’t any flaws in his technique.

Yesterday AB de Villiers made a quick 25 from 19 balls smashing 4 boundaries in the T20 match against Bangladesh Cricket Board XI. South Africa eventually won the match comfortably with 8 overs to spare. This win has sent a warning to the Bangladesh side about the daunting task ahead. Recently Bangladesh coach has revealed that they are clueless about their plans to stop de Villiers.

Nowadays AB de Villiers has become a nightmare to every opposition facing South Africa. And Bangladeshi coach Chandika Hathurusingha has admitted it as he said, “I can say only one thing about de Villiers – bowl and pray for his dismissal. He is arguably the best batsman in the world, a complete batsman. No plan works against him. He can be restrained by bowling in the good areas. One can plan to contain him on the wicket as far as possible. Who knows if it will work! He’s also a human after all,”
