South Africa’s swashbuckler batsman AB de Villiers is the sight to behold when he is on the ground, does not matter whether he is batting or fielding.
On Thursday, during Royal Challengers last home game at the Chinnaswamy, AB lit up the entire stadium when he took a blinder to dismiss English batsman Alex Hales of the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 8th over during their chase of 219.
Hales struck the ball and it was almost about to cross the boundary when AB took a “SpiderMan catch”.
After the catch, AB was termed as SpiderMan, Superman and AB man.
Here is how people reacted to AB’s catch:
Talking about the catch, even RCB skipper Virat Kohli also heaped praises on him.
Kohli at the post-match ceremony said, “That was spiderman stuff (about ABD’s catch). You don’t do that as normal human beings. I thought it was going for a six but he pulled it off. He can do freakish things but I am used to it now. His fielding I am pretty used to now. Need to thank the crowd as it is our last home game.”
