I said in a blog sometime back that @ABdeVilliers17 was the true natural successor to Lara. He too can ask " Did I entertain?" And the answer would be a resounding "Yes. Yes!"

True legend. Finishing on top and allowing next generation to step up. The way AB found innovative ways to dominate bowling attacks was an inspiration #ABdeVilliers #AB https://t.co/Khj9UEXo9u

Check out the emotional video of AB De Villiers retirement speech here. We wish to see him playing at least in World Cup 2019. From all cricketing fans, we request Abraham Benjamin De Villiers to reconsider his retirement decision for his cricketing fans.
