People may forget his real name, but will always remember Mr. 360: Sehwag on ABD

More than a decade since he joined RCB, AB de Villiers continues to be the team’s go to man. He has been retired from international cricketer for a few years now but that has not impacted his game one bit and the South African continues to enthrall the RCB fans with match winning performances.

Once again this year, in the seven matches he scored three fifties. Former India batsman Virender Sehwag could not help but praise the heroics of the Superman.

Remembering the game against Delhi Capitals when ABD scored an unbeaten 75 off 42 balls to help RCB get to a winning total, Sehwag said on Cricbuzz, "People may forget his real name, but will always remember Mr. 360 degree. I don't think we need to give him any other name because how many can you even come up with. 360 degree is a good enough name. In the match against Delhi Capitals, when he left a few balls from Marcus Stoinis outside off-stump, he realised he left a wrong ball. Off the next ball, he went outside off, and even though he was expecting a similar delivery, it was a short-pitched ball and he hit a six.”

"Only AB de Villiers could have done that. Had there been any other batsman, he would have gone outside off and instead ducked to the short ball or may have gotten out. I think only de Villiers could have connected. So, no need to look for any more adjectives or songs or poems. 360 degree is the perfect name," he added further.

It's worth mentioning that during the IPL, Virat Kohli revealed that AB de Villiers had not played any cricket since the end of IPL 2020 and was still in a prime touch after returning to the action during this year’s league
