Details

AB de Villiers is one of the finest batsmen ever to play cricket, and yet his achievement extends beyond his outrageous armoury of drives, pulls, paddles, scoops and flicks.

Whether he is delighting home crowds at the Wanderers or Newlands or setting new records in Bengaluru or Sydney, he plays the game in a whole-hearted manner that projects a positive image of his country around the world, and also makes millions of South Africans feel good about themselves.

This is AB's story, in his own words. The story of the youngest of three talented, sports-mad brothers growing up in Warmbaths, of a boy who excelled at tennis, rugby and cricket, of a youngster who made his international debut at the age of twenty and was then selected in every single test played by South Africa for the next eleven seasons, of a batsman who has started to redefine the art, being ranked among the world's very best in test, ODI and T20.

Through all the pyrotechnics and consistency, AB has remained a true sportsman - quick to deflect praise, swift to praise opponents, eager to work hard, to embrace the team's next challenge and to relish what he still regards as the huge privilege of representing his country.

This is the story of a modern sporting phenomenon.

BOOK REVIEWS: The autobiography of one of the world's finest ever batsmen. AB has become the most valuable cricketer on the planet- Adam Gilchrist; The finest batsman of his generation - Virat Kohli; Just about the best cricketer in the world.- Mike Atherton.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR : The statistics tell barely half the story but, so far, AB de Villiers has scored over 14,000 runs in 98 tests for South Africa, more than 8,000 runs in 190 one-day internationals and more than 40,000 runs in his professional career. He is mainly distinguished by the style in which he bats and his humble, determined captaincy of the South African national team in one-day international cricket.

FOREWORD BY: JONTY RHODES : Jonty Rhodes played 52 Tests and 245 One-day internationals for South Africa between 1992 and 2003, scoring more than 8000 runs. Through his infectious energy and brilliant fielding, he became the most recognisable face in the Proteas Team that emerged from isolation. He now works in the media and as a coach.
