Even when South African legend AB de Villiers played international cricket, every bowler was in awe of him. Even today, if he plays any league cricket, the bowlers are afraid to bowl to him, because even today he bats in the same aggressive style. Now his 10 year old son has set out to carry forward his legacy. De Villiers’ wife shared a post about his son scoring the first half-century of his cricket career, which she re-shared.

AB de Villiers’ wife Danielle posted a photo of her son on her Instagram story and wrote, “Hearts won. Our baby AB scored his first half-century yesterday.” Re-sharing this post, AB de Villiers wrote, “Proud moment, and he played this innings with his new 360 bat.” Let us tell you that De Villiers has opened his bat company just a few days ago.

In talks with Cricket.com, AB de Villiers said that at that time there were veterans like Glenn Macgra and Daniel Vettori in the team, but they have very poor memories associated with this team. He also admitted that he was afraid of big veterans as a young player.

AB de Villiers said, “I will be hated to name you. I can say that the condition of Delhi Daredevils was very bad, really very bad. Many poisonous humans were present in that team.” He also admitted that he did not get much support in the Delhi team in his young days.

He said, “Three years in the Delhi team was not very good for me. In this journey I also realized that there used to be very useless people in the team, I do not need to take their name. I expected, but the big players did not support me as much.”
