AB’s sixes
AB de Villiers smashed 37 sixes in this IPL — the highest– but one stands head and shoulders above the rest. It came in that heist of a match against Gujarat Lions in Bangalore. Trying to aim for his leg stump, Praveen Kumar actually delivered a low full toss. Going down on his right knee, de Villiers swept the ball over the deep fine leg and sent the ball to the roof of the stadium. That highlighted the South African’s repertoire, which frankly was a treat to watch. Despite losing the final, the South African hard-hitter finished this season as the third highest run-getter with 687 runs.
