'MR. 360°' Beyond Comparison

Abraham Benjamin Deviliers is genuinely defines for what it requires to be Mr. 360° in cricket. Deviliers  a given day can win the match on his own. Such is the caliber of this man. He can dominate any bowling attack no matter how the pitch is behaving. His ability is such that he can just come out to bat and hit a reverse sweep for a six without having to getting used to the conditions. He is just someone out of the world. He showed his this ability in the match against West Indies were he came out to bat in the 34th over and smacked 149 of 44 balls. With this you can imagine how dangerous batsmen he is. But its not that he has managed this once. He reshowed a similar kind of innings against the same opponent in the 2015 World Cup. He made a record of fastest man to score 150 runs in ODI's in just 64 balls. And recently in the final ODI against India to he showcased his talent by scoring a quick fire century at the Wankhede stadium to help South Africa reach a mammoth total of 438 for 4 after 50 overs. With such batting performances it seems that he has a completely different DNA as a batsman. He has changed the way batting used to be done in the past. Its just brutal hitting of the cricket ball.
He has been given the nickname Mr. 360° for his ability to play shots in any part of ground. He play the traditional cricketing shots but also along with those some cheecky shots. Not only for the batting he has been given this name but according to me he is correct example of a team player. Whenever the team is in trouble its Deviliers who can take the team out of that trouble. He is terrific fielder, a wicket keeper, a captain, a bowler if the teams needs him to do that job. As everyone says he is a superman who can manage to do any task and complete it successfully.
It is not that his ability to his sixes and scoring quickly mean that he is not a good test cricketer. He can stay on the wicket for long period of time as long as scoring just 22 of 250 balls to save a test match for  South Africa. He is ranked no.1 in ICC ODI rankings and no.2 in ICC ranking. Such is AB Deviliers. He is the best, astonishing, fabulous, stupendous, mind boggling etc. I am falling short of words to describe this great player. He is complete cricketer and a great example for the young lads of how a cricketer should be. He will really be one of the greatest players of all time.
