Twitter Reacts As AB de Villiers Steps Down From ODI Captaincy

While ending his self-imposed exile from Test cricket, South Africa star AB de Villiers, on Wednesday (August 23), confirmed that he would be available for selection in all the three formats but stepped down as the One-Day International captain of the team.

Speculations were high over de Villiers’ Test career as he had not donned the white jersey for the Proteas since January 2016 before an injury sidelined him for much of last year. Consequently, he missed the series against New Zealand, Australia, and Sri Lanka. Later, he stated that he would be taking a sabbatical from the Test game with an eye on the 2019 World Cup but kept the management and the fans guessing over his future.

He was recently targetted by many former players including his former teammate and skipper Graeme Smith but the 33-year old has now put all the speculations to the bed. The news will be a welcome relief for South Africa’s Test team which recently lost 3-1 to England with batting collapses being one of the prime reasons behind the heavy thrashing.

Meanwhile, de Villiers’ decision to play all the formats and step down as the captain invited different reactions on the social media.

Here is how Twitter reacted to de Villiers’ decision:
